The fact that it begins with Skyrim just made me smile right away.

Welcome to the save point, weary traveller. Stay a while, breathe, save your progress. You survived this far, you can go on a little while longer. Raise a cup for those that did not come this far, leave a torch for those still on their journey and haven't made it here yet. Take a glass of water, de-tension your shoulders, breathe.

The hearth is warm yet. It won't go cold for a while. So sit a while, maybe welcome the next weary traveller in. It's a tough world outside but right now? It's peaceful here.

Good luck on your journey, traveller. Wherever the paths may take you.

Just half an hour ago I was informed of a terrible outcome for something I had been working so hard for the past 2 years. So I’m really glad this playlist just appeared. It’s a great reminder that I need to be calm in order to calculate what I’m going to do next. Wish me luck…

[johnnydeppsky]

The picture is from Vasnetsov's "Vityaz at the crossroads"

[ITSMONKEYBABY]

The Path. A short story, written for 'nobody'.


You approach the campfire. An old man sits there, watching the fire crackle.

His tattered grey robes and his bushy beard seem to blend together.

His posture shows the true weight of gravity... as he leans forward on his wooden, twisted cane.

His smile is warm. And welcoming.

You take a seat on the sitting log across from him, and allow the warmth to wash your hands clean of the cold night.

He speaks to you.


"You and I walk the same road. I honor your journey, and offer you comfort.

Partake in this fire, and my food. Freely".

He gestures to the pot over the flame.

"Though the road is long, and arduous. Please, rest here. Rest now. With me. Rest with love, and acceptance of yourself".


Love...? You respond.

"Old man... I have no love for myself. I have earned no love. I have yet to achieve something worthy of my name. ...I have done awful things to survive".



"...Then rest your body. Just for a moment.

Your aches and pains are respected here. This journey is not easy".


The old man sighed warmly.


"...If you cannot love yourself. May I share this with you?".

He waits earnestly, though you say nothing.



He continues.

"There was once a time when I did not love myself. For years, I moved in shadow, and burden.

Fighting for a future where all was well. Every day, a struggle.

In moments of clarity, I knew it wasn't supposed to be this way.

One day, broken... reeling... hopeless...

I looked inside of myself. Deeper than the pain.

Standing there, was the child I was so long ago. The light of the world reflected from his eyes.

A being of pure innocence, who beamed bright with love.

And it struck me, like a wave.

I spent so much time protecting him... fighting for his world. I forgot to love him.


I did what I thought I had to do to survive this life. My mistakes brought great pain.

I sought fame, and fortune. Though my grasps fell short.

But as I looked into the child's eyes. All I saw was life.

I pictured embracing him, warmly. And I forgave him for the mistakes he made.

'Forgive them, for they know not what they do'.

Some religious man I knew said that once. It felt true.

Traveler... I worship no Gods, but I aim true. And my heart tells me to speak this:


You must find the child inside, and learn to love him. For he is with you.


Always.


And no one is there to guide him accept you


But all of us who know this are here with you".

I lost my grandfather the day before Thanksgiving and buried him today, which happens to be my late grandmother's birthday. The past week has been crazy with work and helping my mom out with the services. I'm having a smoke on the balcony listening. Stay strong soldiers.

[notanarcher]

It's snowing, and I'm sitting outside in the snow listening to this. Life is pretty good.

[whospeaks]

Jeremy Soule is a legend. The music he made for Oblivion and Skyrim is filled with an animalistic hunger for adventure and exploration, with the contentedness and freedom of birds in a nest with tired wings that took them everywhere. No two games have ever entertained me with exploration quite like those two. I'd be absolutely happy if I found a fantasy exploration game with Jeremy-level music...

“If you go to the right – you’ll lose your horse;
if you go to the left – you’ll lose your life;
if you go forwards – you’ll lose both”

We had this painting at our Russian church some 40 years ago and it fascinated me.

I'm finishing the last essay of my undergraduate degree tonight and this playlist came up on my recommended page. This playlist is now part of the culmination of four years of intense work. In those four years, I broke up with the girl I was with for five years, met my new girlfriend of two years, buried three friends and two family members, helped host three international conferences, and made the honour's list all four years. It's been a long, tiring journey, and there's a long road ahead - I think I'll stop and rest for a while so I can enjoy a moment of peace.

[eudaimaniacs]

it is both a gift and a curse to feel the things we do when hearing this

[semenozhka]

OMG it’s a painting by victor vasnetsov and it’s so bizarre because I live near the place he and his talented brothers were born and I’ve recently visited their house 😍 now I know what I should listen to during my next visit ❤️ thank you, nobody, for this wonderful playlist!

This is a fragment of the painting "The Bogatyr at the Crossroads" by Russian artist Viktor Vasnetsov, 1882. There is an inscription on the stone that reads: "How straight to ride - there's no way to be alive - there's no way for a passerby or a passer-by or a flyer." The following inscriptions follow: "To go to the right is to be married; go left - to be rich" - are not visible on the stone, the artist has hidden under moss or partially erased. The picture is based on the bylina (tale) "Ilya Muromets and the Robbers".

[jenya]

Thank you for Vasnetsov's painting💞

[msp]

thank you, I'm not tired anymore, I have fought many battles that nobody knows of and I am extremely happy to still have my heart and my light burning and beating stronger than ever. I promise to be the best influence to those around me now and for eternity, in this timeline or the next. I love you all and Humanity prevails in the end in case if you were wondering.

[delon]

My grandfather had a copy of a painting. It shows a knight looking at a stone on which it says, "If you take the straight path - you won't stay alive - there is no way for either the rider, the walker, or the flyer." In the original legend there is also "To go right - to be married; to go left - to be rich.", but they are intentionally hidden by the author of the painting. By the look of the knight and his horse it is quite understandable that he does not have much choice.

My grandmother was bedridden for about a year and I was the one that mainly took care of her for that time. I did everything I could to keep her happy and healthy. Her favorite thing to do together was for me to tell her adventure stories. Tells of far off lands with courageous heros fighting off evil and yesterday I told her the last story. I've never seen this video before yesterday and I feel like it's her telling me not to worry anymore.

V. Vasnetsov, "Knight at the Crossroad" - in case you're wondering

[ShannaraTech]

Man Skyrim was a masterpiece. Nothing beat booting up my ps3 and getting lost for hours just exploring the world. The music, the atmosphere, the characters. Just an amazing experience that I haven’t had since.
