night skies = world religion

 

So, the night skies are the center of everything. 

As trivial as it may sound for people who live in places where the stars and planets aren't even visible, they've been the basis for world religion since there was world religion, especially high religion (meaning the religion of priesthoods and temples). You could fill the ocean with the blood that's been spilled according the movements of the Sun, Moon, stars and planets, right up to this very day. via

cryptography ( i code messages)

Evening Read

Rachel B. Doyle dubs Thomas Jefferson “the Father of American Cryptography”:

As a youth in the Virginia colony, Jefferson encrypted letters to a confidante about the woman he loved. While serving as the third president of the newly formed United States, he tried to institute an impossibly difficult cipher for communications about the Louisiana Purchase. He even designed an intricate mechanical system for coding text that was more than a century ahead of its time.

Cryptography was no parlor game for the idle classes, but a serious business for revolutionary-era statesmen who, like today’s politicians and spies, needed to conduct their business using secure messaging. Codes and ciphers involving rearranged letters, number substitutions, and other now-quaint methods were the WhatsApp, Signal, and PGP keys of the era.

Alone in the empty house I asked, "Is anyone there?"
A whisper from the darkness: "If I said 'no,' would it comfort you?"#TwoLineGhostStory pic.twitter.com/CJ2ywwjdto

ah, october

O Suns and skies and clouds of June,
And flowers of June together,
Ye cannot rival for one hour
October's bright blue weather;

When loud the bumblebee makes haste,
Belated, thriftless vagrant,
And goldenrod is dying fast,
And lanes with grapes are fragrant.

–Helen Hunt Jackson (1830–85)
