Hathor (/ˈhæθɔːr/ or /ˈhæθər/;Egyptian: ḥwt-ḥr; in Greek: Ἅθωρ, meaning "mansion of Horus") is an Ancient Egyptian goddess who personified the principles of joy, feminine love, and motherhood. She was one of the most important and popular deities throughout the history of Ancient Egypt. Hathor was worshiped by royalty and common people alike in whose tombs she is depicted as "Mistress of the West" welcoming the dead into the next life. In other roles she was a goddess of music, dance, foreign lands and fertility who helped women in childbirth, as well as the patron goddess of miners.
The cult of Hathor predates the historic period, and the roots of devotion to her are therefore difficult to trace, though it may be a development of predynastic cults which venerated fertility, and nature in general, represented by cows.
Hathor is commonly depicted as a cow goddess with horns in which is set a sun disk with Uraeus. Twin feathers are also sometimes shown in later periods as well as a menat necklace. Hathor may be the cow goddess who is depicted from an early date on the Narmer Palette and on a stone urn dating from the 1st dynasty that suggests a role as sky-goddess and a relationship to Horus who, as a sun god, is "housed" in her.

you could take this for granted,
or you could take it so hard
nothing's ever forgotten
that you write on your arm
like a long list of groceries
or errands to run;
you feel so accomplished,
check them off, one by one
and the shopping cart's swerving
from a wobbling wheel
just a very small thing
makes it so hard to steer
and under hot running water,
see your day disappear
if you don't know they're coming,
it gets hard to go on
but it makes you glad you decided
to be alive
it's good to know when good things
it's good to know when good things
it's good to know when good things will
arrive
am i beating a live horse?
is this the wrong way
to stop things from moving,
to stop all the neighs?
you should meet me in london
where the bright goes grey
and the little birds dance
at the side of the lake
they can keep you from leaving,
though they haven't arrived
just the thought is enough
to keep you alive
it's good to know when good things
it's good to know when good things
it's good to know when good things will
