Her posture, as if she had stopped half way through a step.
I know what you mean, and I agree. It invokes a certain kind of feeling deep inside.

You must have heard of Shantipur, my Ma’s family was from there.
There is a temple (I cannot remember the name), where they have the yearly Kali Pujo.

The image is always 16-20 feet high.
And by tradition it is carried by a team of men on their backs for immersion.
To cope with the weight they walk very fast and never stops till they reach the river.
They carry flaming torches ‘moshals’ to light their way, not the usual glitzy electric lights or generators.
No music or marching bands, a totally ‘dedicated’ pujo.

The aethist me, once went to watch out of curiosity, unaware of all these details.
I was standing on the side of an otherwise unlit road, in a crowd, waiting for a the usual ‘procession’.

Suddenly the image appeared around a bend in the road,
it was dead silence, no one made a sound, the area got lit up by the torch flames.

I had to look up and even more to see the whole image, in the traditional posture of like you describe, “the balance of universe”.
They passed me by and was gone in a matter of seconds, gone beyond the next bend, an everything turned dark again.

Believe me, it felt like something hit me in the chest and went through me. I was in goosebumps.
I have never been religious, then or after, but that day I was awestruck by what I saw.

I think I know the feeling you describe.

sorry,
I did try my best to keep it un-mathematical.

I am not sure what you refer to with reference to Kali and Shiva.
Would like to more about your thoughts on this.

Great crucifix picture there though.

I was so thrilled to have found a meaning to that painting after so many years, that I had to share it out loud. I couldn’t really do an Archimedes up the road, modern day legislations forbids that . Hence this blog.

The result of a thoroughly idle but inquisitive mind.
I liked maths, but only till senior school many decades ago. I was aware of multi dimensional mathematics, never had the interest to try to explore.

I love proper sci-fi. Anything that will make me think, yes that is possible, maybe not tomorrow but a few years on. It is nice to be able to share our interests.

Thanks for stopping by.

So it seems we share more then an interest in politics, you and I!
