BLACKOUT - HIRU

MASSIVE BLACK SPEAKERS... these things have sent me partly deaf.

 ...day 3 of black...

A black hole is a curvature of spacetime geometry due to an intense gravitational field. The effects of a black hole are so extreme that even light cannot escape it.
A black hole is formed when a star of sufficient mass undergoes gravitational collapse, with most or all of its mass compressed into a sufficiently small area of space, causing infinite space time curvature at that point (a "singularity"). Such a massive space time curvature allows nothing, not even light, to escape from the "event horizon," or border.

HIRU- Basque word for the numeral 3

Crystals are commonly used in alternative health practices. Learn which ones are most popular for healing emotional issues involving the heart.

Healing the heart, whether from heartbreak or painful memories, is one of the top reasons for using crystal therapy.

Pink tourmaline: This stone brings a more loving character to the user. It opens the heart chakra to allow healing and love where it has been consciously or unconsciously blocked in the past.

Rhodochrosite: Rhodochrosite encourages harmony with various aspects of the personality and calms emotions. It balances masculine and feminine energy in the user and environment

Rhodonite: Rhodonite is a stone of unconditional love and helps to draw negativity out of the heart chakra. It helps the user to reach their highest aspirations.

Rose quartz: Rose quartz is known as the all-purpose love stone including romantic love, family, friendship and self love. It has a gentle character, and healers will often use this in conjunction with aventurine since their energies complement each other. This stone has a mothering quality and is useful in healing past physical and emotional trauma perpetrated by people in positions of trust.

Strawberry quartz: This stone stimulates the heart chakra, increasing the feeling of love. It helps bring focus to living in the present instead of holding onto the idea of past love relationships that turned toxic.

 Meditating with crystals placed directly on the area of the heart chakra in order to attract their properties is one of the most common uses of heart stones. Crystal pendants can be worn to carry the property of the stone throughout the day. Rose quartz is often placed in the corners of a room to increase harmony and loving expression in the environment. Gem elixirs can be made with the crystals which are then taken internally for emotional issues related to the heart.

 PINK PEACH BLOSSOM

The peach tree (Prunus persica) is a species of Prunus native to China that bears an edible juicy fruit called a peach.

For thirty years I have looked for a swordmaster.
Many times leaves fell, new ones sprouted.
One glimpse of peach blossoms -
now no more doubts, just this.
-   Lingyun Zhiqin's enlightenment poem, as retold by Zen Master Dogen

Blossoms are either pink or white depending on the species or variety. Peach (including nectarine) blossoms, most cherry blossoms, and some almond blossoms are usually pink. Plum blossoms, apple blossoms, orange blossoms, some cherry blossoms, and most almond blossoms are white.

Pink Trivia:  The most romantic color, pink, is more tranquilizing. Sports teams sometimes paint the locker rooms used by opposing teams bright pink so their opponents will lose energy.

eight = ocho (och-o) in Spanish

Code Pink was founded on October 2, 2002 by women activists including Jodie Evans and Medea Benjamin. Soon after its inception, Code Pink launched a four-month vigil in front of the White House, beginning in November and culminating on March 8, International Women's Day, with a 10,000-person march.

The name "Code Pink" is a play on the United States Department of Homeland Security's color-coded alert system in which, for example, Code Orange and Code Red signify the highest levels of danger

Roseus is a Latin word meaning "rosy" or "pink."

Pink Hibiscus ... so beautiful and always reminding us of places tropical romantic and far away.  Guess what?  I am in fact there.  I am in my own tropical paradise and romance is the order of the day each day!  I feel so far away that really we could be anywhere in the world.

Pink is a mixture of red and white. Commonly used for Valentine's Day and Easter, pink is sometimes referred to as "the color of love." The use of the word for the color known today as pink was first recorded in the late 17th century.

 Psychedelic Furs Lyrics

 

The Pretty in Pink film soundtrack album was released in 1986 for the John Hughes Pretty in Pink, a now classic coming-of-age film about teenage love and social cliques in a 1980s American high school.

The title song by the Psychedelic Furs was the actual inspiration for the film and was re-recorded for this soundtrack; it had been released in 1981 for the album Talk Talk Talk.

BLUE LIPS..... BLUE VEINS ... X

TEN and then again..

after blue comes pink... 

Laundry Blue Bluing, Reckitt's blue bags, Dolly Blue

 Before we had modern laundry detergents with optical brighteners, there was a mysterious little blue bag which was stirred around in the final rinse water on washday.

Bluing, laundry blue, or washing blue is a household product used to improve the appearance of textiles, especially white fabrics. Used during laundering, it adds a trace of blue dye (often synthetic ultramarine, sometimes Prussian blue) to the fabric.

White fabrics acquire a slight color cast after use (usually grey or yellow), because they can never be cleaned perfectly. Since blue and yellow are complementary colors in the subtractive color model of color perception, adding a trace of blue color to the slightly off-white color of these fabrics makes them appear whiter. Laundry detergents may also use fluorescing agents to similar effect.
