It was my great-grandfather’s name and a certain great king’s name.
When I was a kid it was a pain in the ass – I got many unwelcome nicknames from classmates (Salmon, Salamander, Solly) and often had to repeat my name to people, who might mishear it as “Sullivan” or would often, forgetfully, call me “Simon”. But I don’t ever remember wishing I had another name.
I felt a kinship to King Solomon – his wisdom and justness. That was recently emphatically reinforced when I came across this beautiful late-16th century Persian painting, Solomon Takes Advice from the Animals, at the Chester Beatty Museum in Dublin. Solomon had the ability to speak to all animals, and, even with his great wisdom, would seek advice from them. The story goes:
“One day, he had the opportunity to drink the water of life, and to live forever. Hesitating, he decided first to take advice from the animals and birds. They all gathered at his court, and discussed the great decision. The heron advised the king not to choose immortality. There was only enough water for one person, the bird said, so if Solomon were to drink it, then he would outlive everyone he loved.”
I commune with pretty much every animal I see, so I heavily vibed with this! 🦘🫏🐑🦌🐕🐈🦢🐇🦝🦡🐀🐿️🐦⬛🦉🦇🐛🐌🐞🪲🕷️🦂🐢🐍🦎🦐🐋🦭🦧🐘🐪

💭it’s always been difficult for me personally to remember peoples names but the moment i remember someone’s name its like the best feeling ever lol
and it’s also amazing when someone pronounces your own name correctly and doesn’t ig you could say white wash it 😭
also when someone spells the name right cause for me it’s such a big pet peeve when my name is spelt wrong

⭐I feel like I've been more curious about life lately because I have been hearing some really fire names. Someone in my town named "Loony John Franklin Toon" was arrested. My Grandpa told me about his friend named Ernie Blankey. These people are out there and we can find them and love them if we want.

I love hand-writing a letter. the delayed gratification of it, talking about anything and nothing, decorating it with cartoons and drawings and stickers. Sending little extras and photographs with tiny micro-playlists scrawled out on the back of it. It takes at least an hour to craft a good letter, one worth receiving and replying to, and it's intimate to think about someone nonstop for that long. I just love that form of communication.
