VOICE OF THE GODS
About the painting: “Circe Offering the Cup to Ulysses” is an oil painting in the Pre-Raphaelite style by John William Waterhouse that was created in 1891. The painting depicts a scene from Greek mythology, the sorceress Circe offering Odysseus a cup containing a potion with which she seeks to bring him under her spell as she has his crew.
In Greek mythology, Circe (pronounced “Keer-keeh” “falcon”) is a minor goddess of magic (or sometimes a nymph, witch, enchantress or sorceress). By most accounts, Circe was the daughter of Helios, the god of the sun, and Perse, an Oceanid. Her brothers were Aeetes, the keeper of the Golden Fleece and Perses, and her sister was Pasiphaë, the wife of King Minos and mother of the Minotaur. Other accounts make her the daughter of Hecate. Circe was renowned for her vast knowledge of drugs and herbs. Through the use of magical potions and a wand she transformed her enemies, or those who offended her, into animals.

PARTS OF A RELATIONSHIP
Recently, I’ve thought a lot about the subject of “relationships”, in an attempt to live my own life on Earth. One of the most joyful and agonizing experiences in existence is the successful creation and maintenance of a “relationship”. It is easy enough to withdraw from relationships and simply give up on them because they can be painful, confusing, frustrating and a lot of hard work! In human society it is very commonly the source of turmoil, destruction and unhappiness. If anyone has any more ideas about how to have a successful relationship, I’d like to know….
Here are a few definitions that I think are the most important parts of a “relationship”, in relative order of importance:
RELATIONSHIP
noun: a state of connectedness between people (especially an emotional connection)
COMMUNICATION
noun: a connection allowing access between persons or places
UNDERSTANDING
noun: an inclination to support or be loyal to or to agree with an opinion
noun: the statement (oral or written) of an exchange of promise
adjective: characterized by understanding based on comprehension and discernment and empathy
RESPONSIBILITY
noun: a form of trustworthiness; the trait of being answerable to someone for something or being responsible for one’s conduct
noun: the social force that binds you to your obligations and the courses of action demanded by that force
FREEDOM
noun: the condition of being free; the power to act or speak or think without externally imposed restraints
noun: immunity from an obligation or duty
WISDOM
noun: accumulated knowledge or erudition or enlightenment
REALITY
noun: the state of the world as it really is rather than as you might want it to be
LOVE
noun: any object of warm affection or devotion
SEX
noun: all of the feelings resulting from the urge to gratify sexual impulses
