There's a very easy segue into metaphysics from here, but I'll leave that for another time lol

2019-07-18 21:03:31 UTC  

Look at the emphasis on doorways and portals.

Interesting, huh?

2019-07-18 21:03:42 UTC  

Good point

2019-07-18 21:04:59 UTC  

@MountainMan I'm trying to understand the symbology of the fractal one above

2019-07-18 21:05:05 UTC  

The circle

2019-07-18 21:05:15 UTC  

Is that moon cycles?

2019-07-18 21:05:57 UTC  

Moon cycles. Centre is the sun

2019-07-18 21:06:02 UTC  

Nice

2019-07-18 21:06:23 UTC  

This pattern is common in a lot of muslim art

2019-07-18 21:06:55 UTC  

Btw is or has poetry been a big thing in the US?

2019-07-18 21:07:15 UTC  

Not since the Civil war

2019-07-18 21:07:19 UTC  

I see

2019-07-18 21:07:33 UTC  

In kurdish culture, poetry is huge, and pretty normal.

2019-07-18 21:07:40 UTC  

Even my uncle does it <:GWcorbinTopKek:384871333705678868>

2019-07-18 21:07:45 UTC  

I've no idea why thouhg

2019-07-18 21:08:29 UTC  

We have some interesting forms of poetry in English

2019-07-18 21:08:44 UTC  

Because of our sentence structures

2019-07-18 21:09:26 UTC  

I trained in reading kurdish by reading poems mostly, because of their ubandance. They're all really sad or about the love for community/parents/country

2019-07-18 21:09:30 UTC  

Or about love

2019-07-18 21:09:31 UTC  

Prose is a weird one that I don't think non native speakers can easily pick up on

2019-07-18 21:09:43 UTC  

Yeah we call it prosa in swedish

2019-07-18 21:09:47 UTC  

Normal here too

2019-07-18 21:09:49 UTC  

Oh okay

2019-07-18 21:10:00 UTC  

We learnt a little bit about it in swedish class

2019-07-18 21:10:17 UTC  

We learnt a bit about poetry and stuff in general

2019-07-18 21:10:26 UTC  

Like hexameter in roman or greek I dont really remember

2019-07-18 21:11:03 UTC  

I had a poem published in a book once lol

2019-07-18 21:11:10 UTC  

Totally forgot it

2019-07-18 21:11:22 UTC  

<:GWcorbinTopKek:384871333705678868>

2019-07-18 21:11:40 UTC  

It was some compilation of student poems for 2010

2019-07-18 21:12:04 UTC  

Kurdish poems can translate pretty weird into english

2019-07-18 21:12:08 UTC  

here's one:

2019-07-18 21:12:11 UTC  

"I hold the pistol to my heart
My hand over a place in my mind
One two three
When I know you are here
The numbers reverse
Three two one
My finger loosens

Men
Always
Disturb my work"

2019-07-18 21:12:40 UTC  

Hmm

2019-07-18 21:12:47 UTC  

Yeah, it's a little lost on me

2019-07-18 21:13:35 UTC  

@GeorgyBoyo Zoroaster-post or gtfo

2019-07-18 21:14:00 UTC

2019-07-18 21:14:06 UTC

2019-07-18 21:15:41 UTC
