It was VERY hard to find this trailer... for me anyway, who has a spatial deficiency.I've never talked to anyone who has seen it.And I think more people should get the chance or at lesat know it exists.
It's definitely a little movie, but I found it to be worthwhile.And maybe not for the obvious reasons.
I own a traveling harmonium for chanting kirtan and bhajan chants.
I had to leave it in a dear friend's care when I moved from east to west coasts.
Hopefully it's weathered well these last 7 years... all packed up.
I think of how lovely it would be to unpack and play again.
Her construction class starts tomorrow. Welding, design, the whole shlemiel.
I'm so very excited for her, and since she told me about her plan, I tried and tried to think of a way to contribute.She decided to place her interest on FaceBook's 'What's on your mind?' status box, and I read it... Voila!
'Interested in traveling harmonium for wagon trip' roughly quoting...And both of these amazing people are willing to bring/get it to/from each other.
It's one of those amazing moments, and I just knew two facts, is all.
They are both so dear the rest will unfold...
Win/Win/Win situation.
I am truly happy I can be a little spirit on her epic journey.
This post is only for folks who have seen the movie, "Donnie Darko," and have loved its provocative and thoughtful nature.I love it, and I think it brings up so many things that I haven't seen presented before. However, it is an odd film - I guess one of the categories I like best. Sure seems like it.This is the ENDING, so not to watch unless you've seen it and love this part of the film - feel its impact, whatever... Again, not everyone's cup of tea, so please don't tell me later that I didn't warn you.If you think you might like it, after doing your research on imdb.com or rottentomatoes.com, going with your gut or wherever, don't watch the ending here first; are we agreed? There is so much that I love in this scene - the wave, the subtle recognitions, the happy look on the Chinese girl's face contrasted w/Frank and all the others. Hopefully that's cryptic enough to get past the unseeing censors..
Quality is best smaller, but dealable large. Final word: this movie changed something in me. But I had to chew on it.
Gently, gently, I hope...
To greet the new day.
Continuing our trip around the world with the United Arab Emerites.
Sounding like morning to me.
This one was lavish.Makes for some balance.Bonus! It's short too...
No large investment for you.
Tricksy times... these days.I 'think' this is it for the night.
Slept long time in middle of day with devestated body.
Nice to put some posts out now.
Falling asleep as I do so,
But keeping the discipline alive.
Hooray.
It is a truly amazing thing to watch.
It takes hours of intricate, painstaking work to create these mandalas of sand.
When I was in rural villages in India, people would work for hours to create them.
Once completed, they swept their hand across the work of art.
Nothing lasts forever.
Impermanence is true of this world.
The next day a world of sand is constructed anew.Colorful, meditative, disciplined, awe-inspiringly beautiful.
Then gone.
That is the way of things.
Art expresses this as best it can through artists of amazing everyday talent.
Sculpture artist Willard Wigan has to slow down his metabolism,
breathing and heartbeat so the pulse in his fingers does not get in the
way of his work. He sold his life's work to a collector for 20 million
dollars. </object>
I found this song quite by accident, roaming the world on my little set of tubes. ;)I was actually looking for a song by someone else, and the only place I could find it was on a collective disc. I still haven't listened to the song I was actually looking for... I am satiated for now.All in good time, I think.I discovered in my e-travels that there are lovely creations everywhere on the globe. I mean - I understood that to be true already - but it's just been a couple of days of light bulbs. You know? Focus. Me focus. Does wonders for connective tissue. And I/we can always use more of that... I re-realize.
I love seeing the collaboration of countries. Hope. I hope.I also hope you like it, and am spreading this melodious work rather than taking something that's not mine.... Sleep sweetly, should this suffice.
This is spring on the Pennsauken Creek in Cinnaminson, New Jersey.
It's also a backyard with which I will become very familiar, and hopefully stay dry whilst doing it.
Change can be hard; but as we all know inevitable.... so therefore there's a choice:
Make the best
Or
Make the worst.
Evolution or Stepping Back.
We all decide in every situation.“For everything you have missed, you have gained something else, and for everything you gain, you lose something else.”

Ten year-old's musings one Halloween night, sitting around a fire-lit room with the beings that lived once and again. Fun. Ooky.
Some books oddly influencing me at what I consider to be quite the early age.... always an interesting topic to me:
Think me off, but reincarnation and science and anecdotal evidence: compelling at least: not everyone gets to be Napolean...
Thank goodness.A

Jude-My-Reincarnation-Auschwitz
There is one about dogs that I would love to read again, but can not remember the title. If you know it, please to help me.
It's just one of those days... tired, ill, and existenially concerned. "This too shall pass," my grandmother always used to say. Pretty wise in the remembrance department.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Existential_humanism "Existential humanism is a concept that can be understood in several different ways. Sartre said "Existentialism is a humanism" because it expresses the power of human beings to make freely-willed choices, independent of the influence of religion or society. Kierkegaard suggested that the best use of our capacity for making choices is to freely choose to live a fully human life that incorporates traditional human structures such as marriage. Camus, in his book The Plague, suggests that some of us may choose to be heroic, even knowing that it will bring us neither reward nor salvation, and Simone de Beauvoir, in her book The Ethics of Ambiguity, argues that embracing our own personal freedom requires us to fight for the freedoms of all humanity." http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Existential_crisis "Existential crisis, derived from existentialism, is a perceived sense of harsh confrontation experienced when a human confronts questions of existence and a change in one’s subjective perception of their relation to their world.An existential crisis can result from:
- The sense of being alone and isolated in the world;
- A new found grasp or appreciation of one's mortality;
- Believing that one's life has no purpose or external meaning; or
- Awareness of one's freedom and the consequences of accepting or rejecting that freedom."
But the film, "Monsoon Wedding" is a wonderful creation, I think I can safely say. And this from a very shy recommender. I seem to be doing it more these days. Looking for balance... always.
"Monsoon Clouds Over the Houses of Gyantse Tibet"Here are a couple of songs from the soundtrack - one plaintive, the other jubilant, in that order.
"Banished" first, then, "Aaja Nachle (Come On Dance!)"Enjoy both or whichever. Hopefully at least one of them.... "~+~"Every year we clean out our gutters; every year the people of India and elsewhere scrub off the plant life that's grown on all the buildings.
