"Oh beloved, since the origin we have been
the slaves of the shah of love....
Oh beloved, we are the cup, and the cupbearer
of this turning age."
(by Turkish poet Baki 1526-1600)

This makes me want to go out and blow the mortgage money on a new camera and a macro lens. Luckily I have to work tomorrow and should be ok after a good night's sleep
