Myself my brother Alex and Willy with the binoculars The Ferry ride is a 12 hour trip from Bella Coola to Port Hardy and as you can imagine stunning scenery along the way with the occasional dolphin (or porpoise) humpback whales and seals Willy has done this trip many times for work and was an expert whale spotter We met him in the line for the Ferry and over the trip we exchanged stories and talked quite a bit with him If the boat was a pub and we didn't have to drive anywhere after (you can get beer etc on the Ferry) the three of us could very well have talked ourselves into a great day of drinking I haven't any sea legs to speak of and know first hand what a rolling ocean can do combined with a few too many drinksgood we didn't

some loud thunder - SomeLoudThunderClapYourHandsSayYeah.jpg

All this talking You'd think I'd have something to say But I'm just talking Like a siren getting louder and farther away From the energetic kids in the park Yes that was me breaking glass and pretending to start Something big Some new taste Did you wander As my voice went from station to station to state Some loud thunder Sometimes there's no telling if we're ok There are buildings up for sale On the other side of town which are falling down for people To stand in their place to try to make something great That's just a part of the story And it could be maybe something complete someday At the end of the quarry Yes that was me digging holes for all the world to see A cannonball as big as the ocean could come from the sky and slap us all on the teeth But there's always more unless I'm mistaken Tell me when tdo mouths close And people gracefully retreat New York calling At the bottom of the ocean city gritting its teeth But there's no tellnig From the telepathic Mrs Crying on live TV Whoah the misanthropic topical arrangement that is met with a shark bite by the terminal patient That's me Am I late That's the state of my story And it may be one day something complete At the end of the party I have dug a hole for all the world to see A cannonball as big as the ocean could come from the sky and slap us all on the feet But there's always more unless I'm mistaken Tell me when do mouths close And people gracefully retreat

Nemesis

Nemesis - Nemesis.jpg

Nemesis was the goddess of divine indignation and retribution who punished excessive pride evil deeds undeserved happiness or good fortune and the absence of moderation She was the personification of the resentment aroused in both gods and mortals by those who committed crimes with impunity or who enjoyed undeserved luck n nTrue to her name which variously may be translated as 'she who distributes or deals out' 'due enactment' or 'divine vengeance' Nemesis was a feared and revered goddess With a discriminating eye she directed human affairs in such a way as to nmaintain equilibrium on earth Happiness and unhappiness were measured out by her with firm care being taken that happiness was not too frequent or too excessive If this happened Nemesis could bring about abrupt and catastrophic losses and suffering n nAs one who kept extravagant favors by Tyche (Luck Fortune) in check Nemesis was regarded as an avenging or punishing divinity Tyche was often irresponsible in handing out Luck and Fortune indiscriminately heaping gifts from her horn of plenty or depriving others of what they had n nBut woe be to the individual favored by Tyche who failed to give proper dues to the gods became too full of himself and boasted of his abundant riches or refused to improve the lot of his fellow humans by sharing his luck Indignant Nemesis would step in and snap the fool back to reality in short order humiliating him and causing his downfall n nAlong with Dike and Themis wise goddesses of Justice Nemesis was one of the assistants of Zeus the king of the Olympian gods who was regarded as the founder of law and order Her home was at Attic Rhamnus site of a magnificent sanctuary dedicated to the feared goddess of divine vengeance n nAbout sixty stades from Marathon as you go along the road by the sea to Oropus stands Rhamnus The dwelling houses are on the coast but a little way inland is a sanctuary of Nemesis the most implacable deity to men of violence It is thought that the wrath of this goddess fell also upon the foreigners who landed at Marathon For thinking in their pride that nothing stood in the way of their taking Athens they were bringing a piece of Parian marble to make a trophy convinced that their task was already finished n nOf this marble Pheidias made a statue of Nemesis and on the head of the goddess is a crown with deer and small images of Victory In her left hand she holds an apple branch in her right hand a cup on which are wrought Aethiopians As to the Aethiopians I could hazard no guess myself nor could I accept the statement of those who are convinced that the Aethiopians have been carved upon the cup because of the river Ocean For the Aethiopians they say dwell near it and Ocean is the father of Nemesis n nBeautiful Nemesis initially was portrayed without wings but in later descriptions she appeared as a winged goddess In her left hand she held an apple-branch rein lash sword or balance Her symbols and attributes were like those of Tyche: a wheel and a nship's rudder n nHer parents were said to be either Nyx (Night) alone without a father or the Titans Oceanus and Tethys: n nAlso deadly Nyx bare Nemesis to afflict mortal men n-Hesiod Theogony 223 n nAlexandros the Great was hunting on Mount Pagos near Smyrna and that after the hunt was over he came to a sanctuary of the Nemeseis and found there a spring and a plane-tree in front of the sanctuary growing over the water While he slept under the plane-tree it is said that the Nemeses appeared and bade him found a city there and remove into it the Smyranians from the old city So they migrated of their own free will nand believe in two Nemeses instead of one saying their mother is Nyx while the Athenians say that the father of the goddess in Rhamnos is Okeanos -Pausanias Description of Greece 753 n nNemesis was also known as Adrasteia which means 'inescapable' or 'Tracing Goddess' You could say that NemesisAdrasteia was the ancient Greeks' conscience nfor the goddess of retribution personified moral reverence for the natural order of things and provided a deterrence to wrongful action n nShe was also called Rhamnusia or Rhamnusis in honor of her sanctuary in Rhamnos n nNobody wanted to be hounded by Nemesis and even to this day her name means: n n1A source of harm or ruin: Uncritical trust is my nemesis n2Retributive justice in its execution or outcome: To follow the proposed course of action nis to invite nemesis n3An opponent that cannot be beaten or overcome n4One that inflicts retribution or vengeance n nThus you'll often read or hear quotes such as: n nThis is that ancient doctrine of nemesis who keeps watch in the universe and lets no offense go unchastised --Emerson n nA famous example of the retribution of Nemesis is the story of Narcissus This man was the beautiful son of the River Cephissus and the nymph Liriope He was so handsome that all women who beheld him at once fell in love with him The vain Narcissus however only had eyes for himself (you could say he suffered from I strain) and rebuffed all admirers n nOne such admirer was the nymph Echo who saw Narcissus and at once fell in love with him But the beautiful youth couldn't be bothered with the smitten one who slowly pined away leaving just the echo of her voice n nNemesis saw this and condemned the vain Narcissus to spend the rest of his days admiring his own reflection in the waters of a pool Eventually Narcissus died and was transformed into the flower that bears his name n nNemesis is considered by some to be the mother of Helen and the twins called the Dioscuri It's said that Zeus once fell in love with Nemesis (she had quite a bit of Aphrodite's beauty and some said she was just as gorgeous) and relentlessly pursued nher on land and sea Leery of his intentions Nemesis avoided Zeus by constantly changing forms finally transforming into a goose Not to be outdone Zeus in turn took the form of a swan and from the egg she laid came Helen the ultimate cause of the famous Trojan War n nBut some say that Helen was a daughter of Nemesis and Zeus for that she flying from the arms of Zeus changed herself into a goose but Zeus in his turn took the likeness of a swan and so enjoyed her and as the fruit of their loves she laid an egg and a certain shepherd found it in the groves and brought and gave it to Leda and she put it in a chest and kept it and when Helen was hatched in due time Leda brought her up as her own ndaughter n nHarry Thurston Peck in Harpers Dictionary of Classical Antiquities (1898) tells us that Nemesis was: n nA post-Homeric personification of the moral indignation felt at all derangements of the natural equilibrium of things whether by extraordinarily good fortune or by the arrogance usually attendant thereon According to Hesiod (Theog 223) she is the daughter of Night (Nyx) and with Aidos the goddess of Modesty left the earth on the advent of the Iron Age A legend makes her to have been by Zeus the mother of Helen and the Dioscuri As goddess of due proportion she hates every transgression of the bounds of moderation and restores the proper and normal order of things As in doing this she punishes wanton boastfulness she is a divinity of chastisement and vengeance n nShe enjoyed special honor in the Attic district of Rhamnus (where she was believed to be the daughter of Oceanus) and is often called the Rhamnusian goddess Her statue there (of which fragments were found in 1890) was said to have been executed by Phidias out of a block of Parian marble which the Persians had brought with them in presumptuous confidence to Marathon to erect a trophy of victory there She was also called Adrasteia that name appropriate only to the Phrygian Rhea-Cybel being interpreted as a Greek word with the meaning She whom none can escape She was also worshipped at Rome especially by victorious generals and was represented as a meditative thoughtful maiden with the attributes of proportion and control (a measuring-rod a bridle and a yoke) of punishment (a sword and scourge) and of swiftness (wings a wheel and a chariot drawn by griffins)
