DURGA

"Whenever feeling low, I envision Durga, I mount my own lion and elegantly slay all my inner demons. One after another, with the sweetest smile, like it's child play." KillahSoftly Avery

Translucent Selenite Knife Wrapped in Leather
At the store they told me this particular tribe uses it in a ritual to remove the negative energy from your aura, to symbolically cut it out...

BTW, I was in New Mexico for a while to visit some sweet friends and went out to some hotsprings in Jemez Springs.

Da Camera Honors the Rothko Chapel with “Music for Rothko”
Presented in Collaboration with Houston Chamber Choir
Friday, February 25, 8pm
Saturday, February 26, 8pm
Sunday, February 27, 2:30pm

Da Camera offers a powerful program of avant-garde music that resonates with the deep spirituality of this unique space. Intimate piano works of Erik Satie, unknown choral compositions of John Cage, and Morton Feldman’s “beloved Schubert” create the musical setting for a performance of Feldman’s masterpiece, Rothko Chapel, inspired by his visit to the chapel in 1971. Performers are the Houston Chamber Choir conducted by Robert Simpson, Sarah Rothenberg, piano and celesta, Brian Del Signore, percussion, and Kim Kashkashian, making her first Houston appearance in over 20 years.

Nonviolence is the answer to the crucial political and moral questions of our time: the need for man to overcome oppression and violence without resorting to oppression and violence. Man must evolve for all human conflict a method which rejects revenge, aggression and retaliation. The foundation of such a method is love.

The Music of Crystals

And, he, his own transparency involved with that of the dream, contained in the dream and containing the dream, he lifted himself in the enormous effort required of him and with a final piercing through of the dream’s border, with a final shattering of every sort of image and every sort of revelation, with a last shattering of memory, the dream grew beyond itself, he growing with it […] and it became the law which caused the crystal to grow, the law of music, stated in the crystal, stated through music, but over and above that, expressing the music of the crystal.

~ Hermann Broch, The Death of Virgil, 1945

…

What the spiritual eye sees inwardly in the world of thought and mind, it sees outwardly in the world of crystals.

~ Friedrich Froebel
