Trying to Love The Goddess of Love
It's hard to find any myths that are just about Aphrodite. Mostly you find her as the bad guy in myths about other gods or humans. In those stories, she always seems determined to hinder lovers more than help them. To tell her story, I really wanted to try to find something to like about her. And i figured the only way to do that was to listen to the stories of the man and the gods who loved her.

The Princess Bride: Marc Antonio Pritchett
zhlédnutí 7Před měsícem
The stories we tell ourselves can be the difference between being destroyed by tragedy or growing strong in response to it. Thus says Marc as he examines the loss of his own mother in the light of the story of Iñigo Montoya and the loss of his father.
The Pricess Bride: Rick Lupert
zhlédnutí 491Před měsícem

Madame Butterfly: Kate Gale
zhlédnutí 66Před 3 měsíci
Kate says the planet is evolving, like a butterfly, becoming something else, and like the planet Medusa became something else. She became something horrifying and powerful. But I have rewritten her story so that she can have the power to be beautiful and loved. In my version of Medusa, she is wild and loved and queer.

    Growing up in a Norwegian 1st generation family this brings back sad memories. My dad's younger brother was killed in a car accident in college. No one spoke of him. I never could bring myself to talk to my dad about Dave. They were so close. My youngest uncle would ask, "where is Dave," to which he would hear, "he's at Riverview Park". A city amusment park. I will always remember the photo in my grandparents house. There is a young boy with a chubby face and a glint in his eye. I wish I'd gotten to know him. Never felt comfortable with my stoic Norwegian family but maybe Dave, dad's younger brother, would have understood that it's alright to not be perfect. Thank you for telling your story.

    Have you ever read Studs Terkel? No one is a bum, just trying to get by. Studs Terkel wrote a book called, "Working". He speaks for the forgotten, the working class, the underdog. I love his books and I loved listening to his voice when my parents would listen to him on the radio. My dad grew up in Chicago and on the 100th anniversary of the elevated train he got to shake Stud's hand. He was over the moon. Thank you for sharing your story.

  • @barbarajeanbraceletlady3090

    Thank you for your story, and I cried. Each day, I thank God for the learning experience of my life on Earth. The names you say on this video, are familiar to me but I’ve never read them. The only thing I’ve been addicted to is sugar, and it’s a battle but I’ve lost weight. Low carb helped but it’s a battle still. Your comforting voice, and being a GH viewer made me sought out your videos. I happened upon this one.

    When I was 4 or, 5 I accidentally drowned a kitten because I thought cats could swim under water 💧🧍‍♂️🙀 Like diving on tv 📺 I was sadly mistaken Because I got my ass tore up. 😱🥺😫 My dad would loose me in the store 🏬 I had ADHD 🤷‍♂️🧍‍♂️ Who knew that before I was diagnosed years later it would not matter in public or, the grocery store 🏬 I would still get my ass tore up 😂 He was Cherokee Indian American & my mom is Irish Dutch. I came out growing up with out the tall standing feature yet I was blond an short looking like Larry Bird . Yep my mom dad & 2 sisters all had black hair and, brown eyes. Oh yeah another thing ADHD Or, not you didn’t forget to mow the yard because the belt was coming off An there would be jumping & a running scratching an a biting screaming & a crying. Mom would save me that mower has no gas ⛽️ oh 😢 Anyway we’re cool now he’s in Heaven 🚬⚰️🪦 When he passed on he said them smokes will get ya sooner or, later. 🤔 💭 for me it would be a great idea not to buy cigarettes 🚬🤷‍♂️
