FOR THE LOVE OF ALL THAT IS HOLY

FOR THE LOVE OF ALL THAT IS HOLY

How did I miss this till today?!

How do I find this interview??

How do I breathe again...?

Art: I remember that period as an inevitable splitting up of the two of us that was an expression of what felt right at the time.

Paul: It’s strange to be partners, you know, especially you get to be forty - in your forties, you know - and you’re partners, you know. ‘Well, Paul, you think that? Well how does Artie feel about it?’ I mean, like, well, what difference does it make?

- Good Morning America, 1983

Art:

I love this! Thank you so much for sharing! 🤩

I didn't fully understand what Paul says though, can some native speaker help me out? 🥲

Just uploaded this TV segment about S&G featuring a short interview. It's a bitter one. Check it out!

Dua Sutekh!

I am Seth, the Red.

I am Seth, great of magic.

I am Seth, lord of the wind.

I am Seth, lord of the storm.

I am Seth, lord of the desert.

I am Seth, the destructive one.

I am Seth, he with the great roar.

I am Seth, before whom the sky shakes.

I am Seth, he who is in the middle of fire.

I am Seth, the lord of power and strength.

I am Seth, he with great power at the tip of the Barque.

I am Seth, and I answered your call.

Were you aware, when you came to me?

Were you aware of what I would bring?

Were you aware that I would stick around?

Were you aware that I would tear your heart out of your broken ribs?

Were you aware that I would stand among the flaming sand as you cried out for help?

Were you aware that I would be there to help you?

Of course you were not.

That’s why I came.

You needed me.

You needed my lessons, the harder the better.

You needed to understand your rage more.

You needed to dance through the storm - no: with the storm.

You needed to find your may among the swirling dust devils and their dervish songs.

You needed to know how much you belong to the red sands, deadly and unforgiving, yet constellated with oases of peace.

And now that we’ve been through all that, tell me: would you really want me to go away?

Yeah. I thought so.

Uhm, yeah, sometimes I write my own devotional bits too. Sometimes someone inspires me and I listen and write. This time, it was Seth. The Red himself. So, a litte bit of devotion for him.
