Benjamin Cooper’s Hummingbirds cocktail (see Imbiber)
“We were once enwombed in the earth and the silence of the body remembers that dark, inner longing… Our neon times have neglected and evaded the depth-kingdoms of interiority in favour of the ghost realms of cyberspace… We have unlearned the patience and attention of lingering at the thresholds where the unknown awaits us. We have become haunted pilgrims addicted to distraction and driven by the speed and color of images.” – Beauty: The Invisible Embrace – John O’Donohue
