Super inspiration to consult the I Ching. Better get ours down from the shelf! of course we may not need ancient wisdom to tell us we’re falling down a slippery slope but then again?

Ancient Wisdom: Falling down a slippery slope is not much different than jumping off a cliff.

modern wisdom: slippery slopes are often found as part of cliff faces. We can choose to fall jump or dive head first but the results may be the same.

How very strange? I posted this song? Weird. Must have been a typo.

No. I posted the song. I always loved Topsy II and it reminded me of a person toppling off a cliff.

Cozy Cole and Gene Krupa - what a combo. Between them, they could have given Ginger Baker a challenge.

I see you are interested in the esoteric. I've just returned from a vacation at Hocking Hills and I'm a few days behind in my correspondence. I'll bet you'd like Peter White's MUSIC FOR STARLUX AIRLINES. And Steven Halpern (who used to play the background music for LILIAS, YOGA & YOU back in the seventies) is experimenting with music tuned to 432 hz and has more than a dozen relaxing CD's including OPTIMAL HEALTH at the Speed of Sound (though OCEAN OF BLISS is probably my favorite).

As I understand it, before tuning forks were invented, musical instruments were tuned to 432 hz. Tesla believed there were magical properties in that frequency range and it may be no coincidence that Stradivarius violins were originally tuned to it. It is calming and refreshing IMHO.
