| I
have studied the Golden Mean, or, Golden Section, as
a compositional tool in my painting, since college.
Leonardo Da Vinci realized the design. He named it his
"Trattato della Pittura, which refers to a "perspective
frame". The focus of the perspective scheme is
placed to the right of center in such a way that the
ratio of the distances between the two edges and the
vanishing point is very close to the "Golden Mean".
This basic ‘divine’ principle can be found
everywhere we look in nature, to the grand design of
galaxies. |
| If
you notice where the "curve" is, you have
the beginning of an infinite "Golden Spiral".
This idea was the background, as it is in most of
my work, for designing an "overlay" art
design for Brenda’s new ‘chest’ (she
discusses her mastectomies in her Quiet
Miracles page). We also had many conversations
about her CD’s on the Reset Breath and sound
waves. One evening, we set aside a block of time to
design a new ‘logo’ for ourselves as we
merged our ideas about her continuing concept for
Quiet Miracles. We planned to stay in and ‘hunker
down’ for an evening of work.
Ah-ha!
As it is, when ‘things’ are EASY and in
wonderfully funky divine order, I picked up a pen
and drew the above curved symbol right away. I knew
immediately it was the combination of the Golden Spiral,
a new musical ‘clef’ as well as a symbol
for Love. It had to be THE Continuum! I imagined the
‘sound’ of our new ‘clef’ would
vibrate low and sure. Its ‘feel’ was infinite.
It just felt good! After another thirty minutes or
so, we had the five words you see on the opening page,
the five lines of ‘music’ and we were off
and running to the Web Masters to get our ideas to
you. |
