The Smallest Minority on earth is the individual. Those who deny individual rights cannot claim to be defenders of minorities. – Ayn Rand

Haven’t been blogging much, so here’s something to tide you over ’till I get back to it.
Amazing Sights (Can’t embed it.)
The song is “Night Ride Across the Caucasus” sung by Loreena McKennitt, and the lyrics are:
Ride on through the night, ride on
Ride on through the night, ride onThere are visions; there are memories
There are echoes of thundering hooves
There are fires; there is laughter
There’s the sound of a thousand dovesIn the velvet of the darkness
By the silhouette of silent trees
They are watching, waiting
They are witnessing life’s mysteriesCascading stars on the slumbering hills
They are dancing as far as the sea
Riding o’er the land, you can feel its gentle hand
Leading on to its destinyTake me with you on this journey
Where the boundaries of time are now tossed
In cathedrals of the forest
In the words of the time is now lostFind the answers; ask the questions
Find the boles of the clear ancient tree
Take me dancing; take me singing
I ride on too waits the sea
I ride onIn cathedrals of the forest
In the words of the tongues now lostFind the answers, ask the questions
Find the roots of an ancient tree
Take me dancing, take me singing
I’ll ride on till the moon meets the seaRide on through the night, ride on
Ride on through the night, ride on
Ride on through the night, ride on
Ride on through the night, ride on
I suggest full screen, and crank it. It’s worth your eight minutes.
