The Wind Cannot Read...and The Clouds Cannot Sing

    At my hotel in Stockholm I picked up some intriguing reading material...
    While I will probably use 'The Wind Cannot Read' for blackout poetry
    I am pretty excited to learn more about the 'Psychic Power of Pyramids'
    Just check out how juicy this table of contents looks:

    invisible pyramids!!

    esoteric pyramids, you say? do go on!

    and your guess is as good as mine
    about what razorblades and pyramids have in common...
    but I'm curious now!
   
    This book also includes some unexpectedly inspiring images

    So, who wants to join book club?!

People Pyramid: The Structural Integrity of Beer

This weekend, in addition to getting extremely lost on the S-Bahn





















I also came across a people pyramid.

This pyramid, constructed entirely out of boxes of beer, encouraged the visitor to open said boxes and have a drink. The Catch 22 is that the more you drink, the more you compromise the structural integrity of the form. Seems like a worthwhile risk for some free beer.

In terms of size, scale, and proportion to the surrounding room, 
the installation also reminded a lot of Kailasa, the most sublime of the Ellora Caves in India.
 
But I probably just have a soft spot for pyramids...And people watching.
