The voice that comes from the lungs and the abdomen cannot express itself fully without the bones of the head, the lips, the teeth, the tongue, the palate. So we see that this body is an instrument of sound. When the tree swings in the wind, each leaf gives a sound. The breeze alone cannot produce the full sound. The leaves of the tree rustle and become the instrument for the air. This shows us that the whole framework of this world is the instrument of sound.

If harmony, why discordant, why does the skin stretch over bone like plastic bag over cereal box, having a body at all is body horror, perhaps

I mentioned last summer how scars can go bright pink in the sun, and some of yall asked what I meant but I healed too fast SO

The lighting is weird, but basically what's happened is I've gotten a sunburn on my shoulder. My normal skin has burnt, making it redder than my natural sorta pale olive tone, and when it heals, I'll be more tan.

The scar that's there, though, is a different sort of tissue, and has no melanin- its hard to tell cause I'm naturally low in pigmentation, but if I had say brown or black skin, that scar would still be pink.

Part of that means scars like mine don't tan. They burn, yes, but once the burn heals, it will not appear a darker tone the way the rest of my skin will- it will still be pale, and will easily burn again straight away- and faster than the rest of me!

That said, if you can see the little brown freckle on the far right side of it? That's some pigmentation that's grown back! Some scars come back darker rather than paler, and some scars eventually grow back the pigmentation of the surrounding skin.

Also, fun fact- scar tissue like this also doesn't sweat or grow back hair follicles! So if I was in a hot, dusty environment for a while and started to sweat, my scars would stay clean and dry!

Visitors examine a life-sized, clear plastic model of the "transparent woman" at the American Museum of Natural History, January 16, 1954. The model shows the organs, bones, blood, and lymphatic and nervous systems of the female body. Electricity lights up us parts in a planned sequence. The model, made some years previously in Cologne, Germany, was given to the museum by the recently dissolved American Museum of Health.

The sound of ether is self-contained, and it holds all forms and colors. It is the base of all sounds, and is the undertone that is ever continuous. Its instrument is the human body, because it can be audible through it. Although it is all-pervading, yet it is unheard.
