I love symbology, labyrinths, ancient ones, designing new ones, walking them.

I'm always looking for music that's not like anything I've heard before
or that pushes boundaries. I like it with an edge, a wide range of dynamics and less is often more.

A Very Powerful Ostara and Joyful Birthday to you, Wispoman!
Yes, 'tis the time to reinvent ourselves!
How do you like the Murakami book so far? I have just finished his "Dance Dance Dance" novel, it was an earlier work and is not as polished, but is just as intriguing, unpredictable and whimsical.
Have not seen "Nochnoi Dozor", but have read the review. (I will probably have to see it on DVD if it is ever released, I am embarrassed to confess that I cannot remember the last time I've been to the movie theatre since Fahrenheit 911. Oh well..)
Domo origato for the amazing photo of the cairn, I can absorb the glow just by looking at the picture, such wonderful energy!
How have you been? Hope all is as well as can be,
and BTW, you have the best blog titles I have ever seen, one simply cannot resist taking a closer look.
