I’m pretty certain that she says “new earth” rather than “new world”, but maybe it’s just how my ear interprets autotune. This is a super beautiful routine when you get into it, but very sweaty, too. Editing will be for another day. Many more routines to unpack before I can sit down. 

At first I wasn’t sure what I was looking at. I opened the window, and it took me by surprise. Had I known the sky would be so clear, and that the moon would be positioned exactly there, I would be better prepared, but it was totally hazy at sunset, a nice hazy blanket right where the moon is right now.  Now you can even see stars, not all the stars, but many… so it is in the moment. I tried to put a few unedited clips with ambient Montreal sound, mainly a peaceful city hum, police sirens and my own breath and exclamations, but this platform is not accepting media in raw video for security reasons. 

At first it looked like something burned-orange and spherical is on or in front of the moon, or as if there were cloud-like spirals showing up and disappearing, maybe it was haze residue, but it was too repetitive to be that, and THEN the eclipse recess process began. There were moments the moon looked like a plate with another circle inside. it is now by its end at 4:51 am. This is why I couldn’t sleep at all. I will have to make a progression video from the combined footage. When the “overshadow” is almost gone the moon is extremely bright and impossible to film or photograph just as easily. When I take a photo I get all the colors of the rainbow but no definition. 

The footage however cannot remotely represent the breathtaking beauty of the situation.

I’ve never seen anything like this. What a nice surprise! Thank you, Universe!

Update: I caught some sleep and it is all over the news. Visible in clear skies all over North America. Blood-moon eclipse it is called, because it is the only time you can see a lunar eclipse, usually it is invisible. It means I literally caught the eclipse exactly when it was full at 4am and started receding for roughly an hour. The “spiral-like formations” were the intense light from the moon bleeding through. It appeared multi-layered and if it wasn’t so huge to the naked eye, you’d think you’re looking at a hybrid between Mars and Jupiter, but I wouldn’t say it was “red”. It was between orange and red and various shades in between.

I’m starting to get a feel of how to make these videos in 16:9. There is a lot of woman in that routine btw.. I inserted two mirrored takes on each side of the frame (one reversed) then reduced opacity. So far, it is the lowest effort edit on my side. 

I prefer the intrapolated result to the original. Two takes, one in high heels. I’m throwing rough edits until I decide. For now, it is an appropriate song to start the day. It’s not you, it’s me sort of vibe. 

beautiful footage from Georgia (West Asia), great acting, and a story told without a single spoken word. This movie is on another level. 

Shiva Arti prior to a big dance practice ahead. I dedicate my pain and tears to the benefit of all sentient beings. The fastest way out of hell is Om Mani Padme Hum. 

I’m pleasantly suprised by the Oscar’s wins. I wasn’t expecting this level of progress. I watched Anora a few months ago and it blew my mind.

Will watch the ceremony therefore. 

I’ve been thrown out of a few temples already for mentioning it, but I stand by my position. 

there is no inherent duty to kill your uncles and cousins for a piece of land. If you’re Arjuna, next time Krishna tells you to go to war, you say “NO I’ll pass. I like you very much, but no thanks, I know the soul is indestructible and I choose to do other things with it. And THEREFORE go fight it out yourself. Aren’t you all powerful after all. Kill me if you want, but I am not going to kill my uncle. I’ll go sit under that tree over there and meditate instead”. 

If I were Arjuna, I’d invoke long covid and get a note from the doctor.

It appears too self-serving to have been said by Krishna. I doubt the Gita is authentic therefore. God would never ask you to kill. Something is off don’t you think! Have you thought that it may be someone else posing as God? Or maybe something got lost in translation. Why are brahmins qualified to tell me what my duty is? 

Yup even in hell, the greatest currency is consent. It’s what keeps this place going. Do not consent!

I’m ending my dance series of the month with Elvis Presley’s Jailhouse Rock. This is a full unaltered take and it is intentionally left as imperfect as it happened. No happy filters or effects added. The point is to always remember that we live in a prison planet, a.k.a. hell. Suffering is the entire point of this place. Nobody is coming out alive. In the meantime, may as well dance till the end of the world.
