Homage à Yanagi Sōri (Taken with Instagram at Othon)
Final minute of sung choir music by about 5 monks and 6 nuns from the order Fraternité monastique du Jérusalem and a minute of contemplative string music played by one of the nuns after mass at the Abbey of Le Mont Saint Michel on 10. December 2011.
Forever Young (Bob Dylan)
On the occasion of a – Dylan disciple – friends’ birthday:
May God bless and keep you always
May your wishes all come true
May you always do for others
And let others do for you
May you build a ladder to the stars
And climb on every rung
May you stay forever young
Forever young, forever young
May you stay forever youngMay you grow up to be righteous
May you grow up to be true
May you always know the truth
And see the lights surrounding you
May you always be courageous
Stand upright and be strong
May you stay forever young
Forever young, forever young
May you stay forever youngMay your hands always be busy
May your feet always be swift
May you have a strong foundation
When the winds of changes shift
May your heart always be joyful
May your song always be sung
May you stay forever young
Forever young, forever young
May you stay forever young

Nothing is original. Steal from anywhere that resonates with inspiration or fuels your imagination. Devour old films, new films, music, books, paintings, photographs, poems, dreams, random conversations, architecture, bridges, street signs, trees, clouds, bodies of water, light and shadows. Select only things to steal from that speak directly to your soul. If you do this, your work (and theft) will be authentic. Authenticity is invaluable; originality is nonexistent. And don’t bother concealing your thievery — celebrate it if you feel like it. In any case, always remember what Jean-Luc Godard said: “It’s not where you take things from — it’s where you take them to.

I went this far with him: ‘Sir, allow me to ask you one question. If the Church should say to you, ‘two and three make ten,’ what would you do? ‘Sir,’ said he, ‘I should believe it, and I should count like this: one, two, three, four, ten.’ I was now fully satisfied.

Pick a whole number, if it is even divide it by 2, if it is odd then multiply it by 3 and add 1. Repeat. For example, 12 is even, so goes to 6, then 3 which is odd, so goes to 10, then 5, then 16, then 8, 4, 2, 1. Your number will have also gone down to 1 (I imagine). Will the numbers always go down to 1? This seemingly simple question hasn’t been answered yet, and is called the Collatz conjecture. The image shows my visualisation of how the first few hundred numbers whittle down to 1. It is such an easy question to ask, but we can’t prove it yet; a good example to show there is still plenty of work to be done in maths! [more]
I made a post about this a while back, and also posted a song that supposedly represents the “oneness of the first 300 integers”. However, I have not been able to figure out the mapping which takes the integers to the sequence of notes in the song.I was thinking the oneness of some integer (mod 8), would get assigned to some pitch in some scale (perhaps A minor).Can anyone make sense of this?Here is the sheet music created from a midi of the song.
This is definitely amazing!!](http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_llo5kmftle1qfg7o3o1_1280.png)
