    Time

    Time is carving you…,let yourself be shaped according to your true nature. – Master Po from Kung Fu

    This is it, you’ve only got one shot, and it’s already started” – Roger Waters


    For tribal man space was the uncontrollable mystery. For technological man it is time that occupies the same role.  –  Marshall McLuhan


    Time is the substance from which I am made. Time is a river which carries me along, but I am the river; it is a tiger that devours me, but I am the tiger; it is a fire that consumes me, but I am the fire.
    Jorge Luis Borges


    “Without music to decorate it, time is just a bunch of boring production deadlines or dates by which bills must be paid.”  – Frank Zappa

    The platypus and the echidna have huge brains given their low intelligence. Scientists speculate that they need this higher brain to IQ ratio, because they do not have dreams to aid in the learning process.

    Hum

    The planet that hums by Robert Coontz from “New Scientist” September 11, 1999

    THEY LIVE UNDERGROUND

    They are everywhere but seem to come from nowhere. They barely exist, but never leave. If sounds have shadows, they are the shadows of a sound.

    Researchers call them the background free oscillations of the Earth. But last year, when a pair of Japanese geophysicists named Naoki Suda and Kazunari Nawa dredged them out of a mass of seismic data, some people called them a hum. That’s a comforting thought: a mystic Om, perhaps, or just the warm, cozy sound of a planet going about its business.

    What’s peculiar about the notes in the Hum is that they have no obvious source. Not earthquakes, not nuclear explosions, nothing. The vibrations triggered by cataclysmic events fade away to nothing, but the Hum continues, regardless.

  • Buddha Pendants

    I received an email today from my friend, Cathleen Bunt, over in Hawaii. Cathleen is a gifted artist. Here’s her email:

    Here’s a great gift for someone into spirituality. The Buddha head pendant.

    Golden_buddha

    Available in 18k gold or sterling silver. With or without a stone in the third eye. The above pendant has a white diamond, below are yellow, teal blue and pink diamonds. I also have black diamonds and rubies. The pendants are about 1 inch high.

    These pendants have a nice weight and a substantial feel. I fix each wax myself, carefully going over the face to correct any imperfections. Then it’s cast and cleaned up, here in my shop and given my signature finish
    of sandblasting and raising the fine gold or silver. It’s a very unique gift.

    If you’re interested please call soon, as I have a limited supply.
