The pattern of sound

  What is the cymatic sound patternOf my sweet sons laughterThe sound of his spirals of joyContagious with their delicate innocenceOf life’s simplicities.Our children are the patternWoven from our life on this earthThe snail trail of our journeyFrom birth to deathDo we find our way backFollowing the traces ofTranslucent slimeTo begin againA new journeyOr sing the songsOf our forefathersWho knew the patterns of the starsThe battlesThe warsAll timeless history past

Yes sound and speech, an

Yes sound and speech, an extension of the meaning we start when we broach poetry. Each being its own art form. Which is why I find music so enchanting. But alas not a sticth of musical talent in these bones. I birth words. Most times I find it easier than birthing my daughter. Certainly less confusing, but I digress. Wonderful reflective and charming write, I lack suggestion but enjoyed the read greatly Seabhac. Julie D.D.

Great suggestion

Already done, thanks Jayne. I have to admit on the link I gave Troy above it wasthe pattern of the Mongolian throat singng ...overtone singing that grabbed me by the throat. For me this knowledge has been a jigsaw piece of a larger question I have often pondered. Let me know if you find out anything interesting on the subject. Hugs Seabhac

Vibrations. In the beginning was the word. Mongolian throat singing: http://www.twine.com/item/11836wxyx-3t/youtube-mongolian-incredible-throat-singing We had this discussion on some of my groups over the last few years. Far cry from sound being used as weapons by the military. http://www.revleft.com/vb/sonic-policing-sound-t129315/index.html?s=7c47faeb7d7a020e9bcc37ca33827c27& Thanks, Seabhac Love, Anna Words must be used like stepping stones: lightly and with nimbleness, because if you step on them too heavily, you incur the danger of falling into the intellectual mire of logic and reason. - Balsekar

Hi Anna

Yes a really interesting link on that site to a TED talk about the big bang theory and sound related beginnings. I bet one of those sonic police megaphones would make a great cymatic sounder. Vibration ah yes...I'll have some of that please Seabhac

Hi there Lyz

It is exciting to know each day we awaken, we learn new and wonderful things that sometimes shake the core of our belief. I am a very visual and tactile person and sometimes I need to 'see the science before I can believe it' The experiments have begun and we are definatly having fun. I so love the painting in the avitar , this is an amazing artist in Mongolia who paints female shamanic rituals in an amazing manner, the research she is doing is fascinating. I so wanted to bring one home with me but maybe on my next visit. Thanks and hugs Liz
