Did Persephone eat one of the six pips from Hades present when she arrived in the underworld in Autumn?
Could it be the reason why the light was so dim around 4.30pm, two days ago even here in Provence?
I confess this tale of Hades, Demeter and Persephone is one of my favourite and at this time of the year I always reconsider this story.
I was watering the lentils I started growing some days ago and was thinking that Demeter was not so depressed to have lost her beautiful daughter because these lentil seeds of mine looked so full of generous life and promise. They grew easily this time .
I do hope that real crops around the world will thrive like my symbolic lentils in spite of all the weather heavy disturbances which take place almost everywthere, even here where we have amazing rain episodes ... with rather appealing names like "épisodes Méditerranéens' or "épisodes Cévennols....including dreadfull coastal floodings on the South West and South East coasts and life loss each time.
If only Demeter could stop beeing depressed this end of year, and the planet go safer for drinking water, food, peace?
If only the Migrants on earth and seas could find a safe shelter with fraternal mutual help around this planet?
I cannot think of any musical help to soften what I feel this end of 2019 year.
Could it be a prayer to all the gods of this world and Ancient Underworld to help us down here?
Could it be the cry of the singers I discovered during "Les Rencontre d'Averroès 2019 "the nignt of the Joubran Concert 'The Long March'?
