😅 Just put on a game I haven't played in years, but which comes from a franchise that *ruled* my childhood. The theme song immediately brought tears to my eyes. Ah memories.
I didn't know for a few years that this is the Lord's Prayer in Swahili, but the humanist in me was highly amused.
As I wrote today, every religion has its extremists--and every religion has people trying to carry forward the best from some truly awful canon.
We can all make beauty from the ruins.

@MLClark I think Swahili is one of the most beautiful human languages. It's almost like it was designed for singing first and talking later.
I am fond of Gaelic, too.
Oh, that's a perfect description of Swahili. (Gaelic is a good runner up!)

@MLClark I've played most of tat franchise 1-5. Even the loose ties to history did it for me. Its also currently installed on this computer. Did not know the origins of the theme song of IV until I was today years old.
Yay! Welcome to the club. :)
I admit that this is technically "research" for Monday's newsletter, but I am having a lot of fun and I've remembered all the production orders to secure the wonders I need for a leg up on the others. 💛 It's hit me right in my childhood.
😭 OH MY GOSH. AND I FORGOT THAT LEONARD NIMOY NARRATED THE KNOWLEDGE TREE PARTS.
HELLO SPOCK. I MISSED YOU, TOO.
