I took apart an old keychain and cut up old viola music and made this. This took me ten minutes, beleive it or not. I must say I’m very proud of myself:)

What is this I can’t even- My mind has never been so blown by Bach before.

The Genius of J.S. Bach’s “Crab Canon” Visualized on a Möbius Strip

Holy harpsichord.

We know J.S. Bach was a genius composer. Certainly among the top two or three that have ever lived by most measures. Even knowing that, I was not prepared for the awesomeness you are about to see.

This is the first canon from Bach’s Musical Offering, known as the “crab canon”. The first level of awesome is when you find out that it was designed to be played backwards and forwards. But lots of people have done that … big deal, right?

Then you find out that it was written to be played backwards and forwards at the same time. That’s pretty amazing, but again, since it’s not that long I wouldn’t classify it as an Earth-shattering epiphany.

BUT THEN … graphic artist Jos Leys (who made the video), show how this Bach piece is basically the musical version of a Möbius strip.

Mind. Blown.

I love instances like this, in particular what we have here, where characters break the dimensions of the set and interact with the pit.

Bless this bride, totally insane, slipping down the drain.

I miss my marching band days.  This is pretty freaking epic.

Since we’re posting marching band videos up in here.

This, though.  So accurate.

“I fall in love with characters when they’re out of their element or are uncomfortable and you really feel for them in a knee-jerk sympathetic way.”

Large Smoky Quartz Point Giveaway / Drawing 10 March 2013

In order to qualify as a participant, you must be following me. Likes do not count. I am not monitoring past the follow and first reblog, so I ask that you have mercy on your followers regarding spam on the dash. ;-)

The drawing will be accomplished using a random sequence generator “at some time” on 10 March 2013, and then announced no later than 11:00 PM Pacific on same day.

This is a large and heavy crystal, measuring 3.75” in diameter and 5.75” tall … it weighs in at 3 lbs. 8.125 oz.

This beautiful quartz point is deeply feminine and is naturally smoky. To clarify … it has not been irradiated by artificial means to enhance its dark color. The image was taken in sunlight, so the glistening of the many inner fractures rose above the smoky aspects and the crystal shines amazingly clear. Deep within you will find several inclusions of sweet citrine. There is a chip on the base that serves as a tender reminder that perceived flaws bring beauty to the balance of the whole of our being. This dear one has been housed in a healing room, and as with all crystals that have graced my life, it has been cleansed in the light of every full moon for the duration of our time together.

This is the third giveaway for me, and many have asked how I am able to part with crystals of this quality. I suppose it is time to share a bit of my story. I do not consider my crystals as property. This one, and all others you have seen given here, came to me for varying reasons without cost. I have been blessed by them, and now they journey toward the one for whom they are meant. During the last several years my life has had drastic change within it, and my heart is deeply engrossed in releasing items of great healing out into the ether to find their mark. My personal healing continues and I am once again an active participant in the world. In many ways I am a walking miracle.

When working with crystals I recommend you research their common meaning(s) and then forge a relationship with them that is unique to your personal way of being. My experience with this particular crystal has been one of gentle grounding, and removal of blockages within. The citrine inclusions bring strong recognition of the brighter aspects of living and encouragement to endure. I have fondly called her “The Doctor.”

As always, there is peace for me in giveaway. I wish each of you well. There is certainty the crystal will find the one it seeks.
