Adelheid Manefeldt: “It Had Started to Drizzle”

Photographer Unknown, (Rainy Drive Through the City Streets)

“It had started to drizzle. The lamp poles cast a kaleidoscope of light dancing across the puddles in the road. The rain made Sam feel even more lost now, as if these shadowy events were invisible to the world. As if the night was cloaked in anonymity. This wasn’t a peaceful rain – it was a sad one. A drizzle, which wept for the inevitable.”

A Small Space

Photographer Unknown, (A Small Space: The Airplane), Selfie

“To some people, there is no noise on earth as exciting as the sound of three or four big fan-jet engines rising in pitch, as the plane they are sitting in swivels at the end of the runway and, straining against its brakes, prepares for takeoff. The very danger in the situation is inseparable from the exhilaration it yields. You are strapped into your seat now, there is no way back, you have delivered yourself into the power of modern technology. You might as well lie back and enjoy it.”

John Williams: “You Must Remember What You Are”

Photographer Unknown, (Food for the Mind)

“You must remember what you are and what you have chosen to become, and the significance of what you are doing. There are wars and defeats and victories of the human race that are not military and that are not recorded in the annals of history. Remember that while you’re trying to decide what to do.”

― John Williams, Stoner
