Parabola

Somethings just leave a deep mark in your memory. No matter how many times you go back to them, they seem to be layered- each time making new connection, discovering or just realizing another levels.
I just had one of those experiences. An 'unexpected encounter' with piece of information, online. I accidentally saw Parabola - video from Tool after hours of hyper-linking youtube. It is amazing how many hours you can spend in a blink of an eye. But then again, it is all worthed after moments like this:



We barely remember who or what came before this precious moment,
We are choosing to be here right now. Hold on, stay inside
This holy reality, this holy experience.
Choosing to be here in

This body. This body holding me. Be my reminder here that I am not alone in
This body, this body holding me, feeling eternal
All this pain is an illusion.

Alive, I



Since last time I saw the video I started practicing yoga. Coming back to it after some period of time, I realized how the artists were also inspired by similar philosophy of life. This 10 minute video features the artist Tricky and the beautiful animation in the last part of it is based on the artwork of New York based artist Alex Gray.
