＃ JUMIN !! ♡

Jumin, who never really thought himself to be the romantic type, but loses himself so easily in his relationship with you that he’d do anything imaginable just to see you smile for him. This sophisticated, pressed-suit wearing, stone-faced man who just crumbles when it comes to you, —who once thought love was some sick ruse made to rope people in and keep them hostage to their feelings, suddenly realizing that this rush is marvelous, and he can’t quite clearly remember a time before his heart seemed to beat for you. This man who swore he’d never love someone enough to put aside everything else on his mind and just live in the moment who sheds that dry cleaned business attire at the end of every workday and lets himself come undone for you. His walls come down and he welcomes you inside, and for once, he’s not scared of what will happen when you see the parts of him that perhaps aren’t as pretty as others. He lets you see the beautiful mess he’s made of himself over the years, and it’s then that he begins to pick up all these tattered pieces, finally preparing to put himself back together again. And recognizing you’ll help him do so is the sweetest comfort he’s ever known.

＃ HYUN (ZEN) !! ♡

Hyun, who stops pretending to be perfect over time and lets you see him in all the stages of healing. This man who often shields himself from the world, hiding behind a mask of narcissistic confidence, who finally lets his imperfections seep through to the surface and breathes another sigh of relief every single time you stay in the aftermath. He lets you in on the insecurities that lap at his ankles much more often than he'd ever had liked to have admitted before. He lets you hold him when he shatters instead of pushing you away, —dulls all his rigid edges to feel your warmth surround him, as if lowering all his defenses for the very first time. The world can be a cruel place to those that have made mistakes, but Hyun feels like he's finally found someone who can look at him for more than just the pretty, well-kempt face he maintains for the public. There's no sense of shame he feels the need to drown in when you let him fall apart in your arms. There's no crushing feeling of disappointment or suffocating feeling of disdain. He's more human than he fears he's ever been when your thumbs wipe the tears from beneath his eyes and you whisper to him that everything will be okay.

＃ YOOSUNG !! ♡

Yoosung, who learns over time how to not let things fester until they’ve built up so much he can’t keep them in any longer. For all he is and might not ever be, he’s come to realize that it’s okay to express his emotions before they reach a boiling point. He comes to you at the onset of upsetedness, —allows himself to feel frustrated without stuffing it down and pretending the problem doesn’t exist until it explodes. He finds that it’s so much easier to be earnest when you never talk down to him or make him feel like he’s any less of a person in your eyes because of it. Sometimes he needs advice, and other times, he just needs someone to talk to. No matter the case, he seeks you out before anyone else, knowing that you care enough about him to value his thoughts and opinions without qualifiers or regulations. He holds grudges sometimes that aren’t good for his own sake, and being shut down when he tries to address them only adds fuel to the fire. Having someone who truly listens and tells him that it’s okay to feel the way he does goes such a long way, —perhaps longer than you’ll ever know.

＃ SAEYOUNG (707) !! ♡

Saeyoung, who lets himself be honest eventually, —who lets himself chip away and then lets you smooth him over. He’s done a lot of things he’s not proud of, and he doesn’t need anyone to tell him that it wasn’t his fault. Whether it was or wasn’t doesn’t matter as much as what he knows he has to do going forward, and the last thing he really wants is to be coddled out of pity. He just wants to be heard, no sympathy necessary, no fawning over the way he sheds the skin he used to wear when he felt like happiness was millions of miles away. He just wants to be listened to. To Saeyoung, it’s the ultimate show of trust to admit to all the things he regrets, let them spill out like word vomit and not have to worry about the consequences. He doesn’t need you to understand, and knows you likely can’t given the specifics of his life’s course thus far, but knowing that you’re keen on carrying the burden with him is such an insurmountable feeling of relief. Finally, someone knows every grimy little corner of his soul and they still love him, still hold him, still want him. . . There’s nothing quite like it.

＃ SAERAN (RAY) !! ♡

Saeran, who lets little things slip as time goes on, —stares a little longer when he passes twin popsicles in grocery stores because he knows you won’t ask why. As much as he likes to pretend that he can fix things by pretending they never hurt him in the first place, there are always scars that linger just below the surface, ready to burst at the first sight of mint-colored liquids or at the first sound of deceptively sweet voices offering commands from the shadows. He carries a lot around with him wherever he goes, and just loving him until the sun dies isn’t a cure-all. You can’t turn back time and shield him from all the things in his life that have left him feeling like a shattered stain glass window. All the love in the world can’t fix the past. But there’s nothing that means more to him than knowing he can lean on you, —even if he doesn’t always do it. There’s such a sweet comfort in knowing he can turn to you when he feels like he’s drowning. And if sometimes that manifests only in letting himself shed a few tears while he eats an ice cream cone outside next to you in the sunshine, then so be it.

＃ JIHYUN (V) !! ♡

Jihyun, who talks about it all a little at a time, —about the good and the bad, the ugly and the beautiful; because it wasn’t always bad. There were times before you came in which he’d been so in love that he’d have done anything to stay exactly where he was, to freeze those moments up and keep them in a capsule that could never be shaken. And it’s important for Jihyun to tell you about those things every now and again, to let you in and reminisce on the way he’d once been so sure of it all, so ready to settle down and stay exactly where he was. But it’s equally as important for him to bare the remnants of the betrayal for you to kiss, and hold, and make peace with. He likes to think you understand him better in the wake of it, —that you’ve seen him in a new light every time he sits with you and tells you of the loss, the desire, the yearning, and all the ways he wishes things could have been different for everyone. In the end, he’s here, and there’s nowhere else he’d rather be.

This is such a large, sprawling, house for the price. The 1968 mid century modern in Fairmont, WV has an interior I didn't really expect. 4bds, 6ba, 4,400 sq ft, $499,999.

I didn't expect a marble entry. It's kind of elegant.

Large sunken living room has a "walk" around it, plus a big rock fireplace wall.

Looks like they replaced the flooring, but everything else is original.

Off to the side, there's a tiki-look dining room.

Oh, wow, look at the counters and backsplash.

I don't usually like the faux Victorian ceilings in homes that aren't Victorian, but this one's painted black, so it doesn't look too bad.

The large kitchen has a dining area with a colorful original corner wall.

Look at the primary bedroom- stone walls and a bath in the room, with marble.

Nice secondary bedroom.

This is an interesting bath- the big gold trough sink is crazy.

Large 3rd bd. has a matching ensuite.

Downstairs there's another kitchen.

Plus a rec room.

Then, on the upper floor there's a large finished space with a big stone fireplace, a loft, and a vaulted ceiling with skylights. Sliders open to a terrace that overlooks the pool.

Then there's another area here that looks like an additional rec room.

Huge bedroom #4 is here, also.

Plus a stone and marble bath with a fireplace and spa wooden floor.

Large patio and pool on the side of the home.

There's the terrace overlooking the pool, plus a rooftop deck carved into the roof.

The front door has a "hello" sign.

Looks like this might be a little Zen area with a murky hot tub and a pond.

1.04 acre lot.

Chapter 22- Part 1

So, in order to battle Cain, I want to do at least a bit of level grinding, especially now that the level cap is higher again. I’m thinking Lv. 34-35? That sounds reasonable. Plus, it’s Tuesday, and the Trainer at the Battle Corner today is actually somewhat reasonable from what I’ve looked up, so this should be relatively painless. I’ll be heading to Grand Hall in order to-

…Uuuuh, sorry, am I interrupting something? They’ve got some kinda ritual going on? Cool, okay, I’ll check on that later-

Oh- shoot, new Trainers too? Alright, well, I was gonna rearrange my team at the Grand Hall PC, but I guess I’ll go back to Lapis Ward and do it there real fast.

At any rate, here’s the team I’ll be going with for the time being, and you might notice a familiar face in there as well:

Yup, Bloom’s back! Figured I could use a Grass-type again, and I think Decibel could use a break for now, at least until the level cap’s at a point where she’ll be able to evolve (which will be two Badges from now, based on the level caps displayed on the Trainer Card). Granted, Bloom himself still isn’t at his own full potential and won’t be until I can find a Shiny Stone, but he’s still partially evolved, so it’s an improvement.

For now, I’ve swapped his Rose Incense with the Exp. Share to help with leveling him up to the others’ levels in the coming battles. Though, I have noticed this blonde lady in the corner who wasn’t there last time I was here…who is she?

Okay, this must be something to adjust the game’s difficulty…I think. But despite the chaos we’ve seen so far, I’m not yet at a point where I need to lower the game’s difficulty, so I will not be using this lady’s services.

Alright, random flirting aside, um- what’s this Growlithe doing over here?

Oh- wait, this is Ms. Craudburry’s house, isn’t it? Aha, the police must be here to investigate the robbery- welp, time to get as far away from here as possible! Back to North Obsidia Ward!

What does this guy have to say about the ritual happening in front of him?

Oh, so it’s got something to do with that Link Stone thing people mentioned before- again, I’ll check it out later. Right now, it’s fighting time!

Alright, not too scary- one or two Zen Headbutts should beat it.

I mean, Kirin didn’t level up from that, so…I guess this battle counts as meaningless, since nothing changed? Maybe this second battle will be more meaningful.

Okay, I know where this is going. Into Glare we go!

She’s got Crunch, that’ll make short work of Wonder Guard…even if it tries to hinder her with Confuse Ray.

And this is a job Riptide can handle pretty well.

Ice Fang, here we go!

Man, lots of people flirting with Xera today- and since Cain is around, I doubt that’s gonna fully let up any time soon.

🎵 MUSIC NOTE - what is their playlist like? their favourite artists? do you associate a particular song with them?

//To start, she doesn't really have any playlists. She has some CDs, cassettes, 8-tracks, and vinyls, but she never put together any lists of songs herself. The closest thing would be the Creative Zen Stone Plus she got in high school, which she filled up with all sorts of music from the 60s-80s, primarily rock and R&B. She doesn't exclusively listen to oldies, but they are something she often turns to for comfort. Her favorite artists include, but aren't limited to, Queen, ABBA, Pink Floyd, The Beach Boys, Prince, and Billy Joel.

As for the last question, I hadn't really put much thought into a song that represented her, but my brain immediately thought of "Here Comes the Sun" by the Beatles; she does have a way of brightening up other people's days and always wants to help make things better. After some more digging, I don't know that anything fits her perfectly, but "Stand in the Rain" by Superchick kinda reminds me of her struggles with anxiety and perfectionism, and "Girl on Fire" by Alicia Keys could work to describe her journey towards becoming more self-confident. Crucible specifically, though, I found the song "Warrior" by Demi Lovato scarily accurate for.

[notachair]

OMG I FOUND IT (as in a picture and a name)!

I had the "Creative ZEN Stone Plus" one in pink. And I know it's not technically an "ipod" by virtue of not being owned by apple, but it was what I referred to it as, and what I understood my friend's similar mp3s as (some actually being ipods)

Willdddddd

i have 3 moods:

skips every song on my ipod

lets the music play without interruption

plays the same song on repeat for days

The Timeless Allure of Buddha Statues: Spirituality Meets Elegance

Buddha statues have transcended the boundaries of culture and geography to become timeless symbols of spirituality, serenity, and mindfulness. From ancient temples to modern homes, these iconic figures serve as more than just decor; they embody profound spiritual significance while adding an element of calm and positivity to any space. If you're intrigued by their beauty or considering adding one to your collection, this guide will help you explore their history, spiritual symbolism, and practical uses. Plus, we'll share tips for selecting the perfect Buddha statue for your home or garden.

Historical Significance of Buddha Statues

The tradition of crafting Buddha statues dates back to ancient India during the Gandhara and Mathura periods, around the 1st century CE. These early sculptures reflected regional artistry while encapsulating the teachings and essence of Siddhartha Gautama, the Buddha. Over time, as Buddhism spread across Asia, artisans began incorporating local influences into their designs, giving rise to unique styles in China, Japan, Thailand, and Tibet.

Each Buddha statue is a representation of specific teachings or moments from the Buddha's life. For instance, the "Meditation Buddha" portrays the Buddha in a serene seated posture with hands resting in the lap, symbolizing peace and mindfulness.

Spiritual Symbolism of Buddha Statues

Buddha statues are imbued with deep spiritual symbolism. Here’s what some common postures and gestures (mudras) represent:

Meditation Pose (Dhyana Mudra): Reflects inner peace and balance, ideal for spiritual or meditation spaces.

Teaching Pose (Dharmachakra Mudra): Symbolizes the Buddha sharing his wisdom and teachings.

Protection Pose (Abhaya Mudra): Signifies fearlessness and protection, perfect for entryways.

Laughing Buddha: Associated with happiness, prosperity, and abundance. Though not directly related to Siddhartha Gautama, the Laughing Buddha brings good fortune and positive energy.

By understanding the symbolism behind each statue, you can choose a piece that resonates with your intentions and spiritual goals.

Popular Types of Buddha Statues

Meditation Buddha: Best for creating tranquil spaces like yoga studios or meditation corners.

Laughing Buddha: Often placed in homes or offices to attract happiness and financial success.

Reclining Buddha: Represents the Buddha's transition into Nirvana, symbolizing peace and enlightenment.

Earth-Touching Buddha: Depicts the moment of enlightenment, ideal for grounding and stability.

Walking Buddha: Denotes grace, compassion, and progress, perfect for dynamic environments.

Each type carries a unique energy, allowing you to align your space with its intended purpose.

Buddha Statues in Home Decor, Gardens, and Spiritual Spaces

Home Decor

Buddha statues are increasingly popular in modern interiors for their aesthetic and spiritual appeal. A small marble Buddha murti can enhance a minimalist shelf, while a stone Buddha head serves as a striking centerpiece for a coffee table. To evoke calmness, place a meditation Buddha in the living room or bedroom.

Gardens

Outdoor Buddha statues are a common feature in Zen gardens and backyards. Opt for a stone or weather-resistant material to complement the natural surroundings. A reclining Buddha surrounded by plants can create a serene retreat right at home.

Spiritual Spaces

A Buddha statue is a perfect addition to meditation rooms, yoga studios, or personal altars. Pair it with candles, incense, and soft lighting to cultivate a space of mindfulness and reflection.

Tips for Selecting the Perfect Buddha Statue

Choosing the right Buddha statue involves a mix of personal taste, spiritual significance, and practical considerations. Here’s how to find the perfect piece:

Define the Purpose: Are you looking for a decor item, a spiritual centerpiece, or both? This decision will guide your choice of style and size.

Select the Material:

Marble Buddha Murtis: Offer elegance and durability, ideal for indoor use.

Stone Buddha Statues: Perfect for gardens due to their weather resistance.

Wooden Buddha Sculptures: Add warmth and charm, suitable for rustic interiors.

Choose the Size:

For compact spaces, go for small tabletop pieces.

Large, intricately carved statues work well as focal points in spacious rooms or gardens.

Consider the Budget: Use keywords like "Buddha Murti Price" when browsing online to compare options and find something within your range.

Why a Buddha Statue Makes a Meaningful Addition

Beyond aesthetics, a Buddha statue infuses your space with positive energy, mindfulness, and serenity. Its presence can serve as a gentle reminder to pause, breathe, and focus on the present moment. Moreover, it connects your environment with ancient wisdom and spirituality, making it not just a decorative piece but a conversation starter and a source of inspiration.

Finding the Perfect Buddha Statue at The Stone Studio

At The Stone Studio, we specialize in hand-crafted Buddha statues made from premium materials like marble, stone, and wood. Each piece is designed to balance artistry with spiritual depth, ensuring it resonates with your space and intention. Whether you're looking for a serene meditation Buddha or a joyous Laughing Buddha, we offer a range of styles and sizes to suit every need.

Ready to bring peace and positivity into your home or garden? Explore our collection today and find your perfect Buddha statue. Discover how the timeless beauty of these sculptures can transform your space into a sanctuary of calm and mindfulness.

Buddha statues are more than just works of art; they are gateways to a deeper, more harmonious way of living. Whether you're drawn by their aesthetic allure or spiritual essence, these statues have a way of enriching any environment they grace. So, why wait? Find your perfect Buddha statue and experience the tranquility it brings to your life.

Bush – Sixteen Stone

The 6x Platinum debut by English rock band, Bush, is getting a comprehensive vinyl reissue today in honor of Sixteen Stone’s 30th anniversary. You probably know the hits by heart. “Everything Zen,” “Little Things,” “Comedown,” “Machinehead” and “Glycerine” were the five massive singles released from this album that still stand the test of time today. The album was recorded at Westside Studios, London with producers Clive Langer and Alan Winstanley, and marked the breakthrough of legendary Alt Rock frontman, Gavin Rossdale. Through his gritty vocal performance throughout Sixteen Stone, Rossdale captivated audiences far and wide on this record that if you didn’t own it yourself, you likely knew someone nearby who did. Bush had recently celebrated the 30th anniversary of Sixteen Stone with a comprehensive Greatest Hits tour that coincided with a singles compilation and put their decades-long career back into focus. The stylistic choices found on Sixteen Stone ranged from grunge to post-rock, all paired with the pop sensibilities for sustained success on Alt Rock radio. The set kicks off with the energetic guitar blast found on lead single, “Everything Zen,” and the band showcases the depths of their sound on remarkable deep cuts like “Swim” and the Nirvana-esque “Bomb.” The machine gun drumming by Robin Goodridge on “Little Things” accentuated Bush’s approach to rounding out their hard rock sound, while “Comedown” was a well-constructed ballad that featured a great bass line paired with vulnerable vocals from Rossdale. The record has plenty of legs with songs like “Body,” that felt like a blend between the grunge of Soundgarden mixed with the metal-tinged elements of Iron Maiden and Motorhead. “Machinehead” featured a great, opening guitar riff from Rossdale and Nigel Pulsford that sets the table brilliantly for the energetic vocal performance throughout. “Testosterone” felt like a band trying to find their footing with other similar bands like Alice In Chains and Soundgarden blowing up the charts, while “Monkey” showed off a more experimental side of Bush. The closing trio of an all-time ballad in “Glycerine,” paired with the sprawling “Alien,” and quiet closing track of “X-girlfriend” proved that Bush were far from a one-trick pony. The band would follow up this record with a harder-tinged effort in Razorblade Suitcase and find sustained success over their 30-plus year career. The gatefold, double LP set is sure to be treasured for longtime fans of the band while still leaving opportunities for music fans to re-discover this gem. Sixteen Stone is usually the first album fans of Bush think of, and it’s easy to see why on this reissued vinyl that pays great attention to detail and affectionately gets these recordings to shine for the next generation of listeners. --- Please consider becoming a member so we can keep bringing you stories like this one. ◎ https://chorus.fm/reviews/bush-sixteen-stone/

This is an amazing Zen estate. The architectural features are superb. Built in 2002 in Santa Fe, NM, the 6bd, 8ba estate is priced at $2.595M.

Isn't the entrance hall amazing? It's like entering a Buddhist temple.

Intricately carved wood, niches, and a tile fireplace with built-in sofas to match.

The sculptural architecture is magnificent.

Step down into a large living room. The entrance has carved molding and the ceiling beams fan out like an umbrella.

You'll notice lots of skylights in the ceilings. I would think that the white candle tables are sculpted up from the floor.

Enter this very serene space.

I like these umbrella ceilings. This is a lovely dining room with a corner Pueblo style fireplace.

I like how the ceiling crisscrosses. The rooms are so sculptural throughout the home.

Another scalloped and beamed ceiling, carved wood columns and a carved fireplace.

Beautiful dining area for the kitchen has high open ceilings.

The kitchen is lovely. Almost every room has a rounded wall or two, and the kitchen is no exception. I like the brick wall, light Shaker cabinets and hammered copper farm sink.

There are so many tables and chairs. I love the turquoise tile, and at first I thought it was a water feature, but I'm not sure what it is.

The primary bd. is spacious, has a raised platform bed, and a fabulous built-in canopy. A door opens to a patio and a lighted art niche is in wall next to the desk.

This bath has double blue glass sinks and a stone floor that comes up to surround the tub.

The stairs are beautiful with the carved rail, niches, and interesting light fixtures.

This bedroom is lovely. It has so many built-ins the scalloped ceiling and doors to a patio. It's like a 2-room suite.

Go down the stairs to a sitting area that looks like a play area for toddlers, with the safety gates. But, notice the ceiling fan- isn't that cool?

The baths are all very Zen. This one has a stone tub surround.

Here's a nice corner home office with spiral stairs to a loft.

The grounds are absolutely stunning. Here's a fountain and a vine growing over a wood structure, plus a garden of sculptural rocks.

There's a covered patio and larger patio under a pergola.

And, off to the side there's a koi pond.

A path to stroll passes by a beautiful water feature.

This is a custom-built 2bd, 3ba guest house.

The desert estate is 13.74 acres.

If you are a classical musician and this kind of work doesn't seem to you too cool or sophisticated (well, I think it's cool enough)

You must understand this is a way for you to beginning your epic stage experience, of your new repertoire, your creative works, your new compositions

When we talk about Concerts in Stadiums, filling stadiums, we are talking about a range of possibilities like Cirque du Soleil ballets, Zen concerts, Celtic epic concerts, music battles, religious ERA epics, orchestras with epic chorus, orchestra with Symphonic Metal guitar bands, cellist soloist playing on their feet, violinists who dance. There is room for work and criativity.

In the Epic Concerts in Stadiums the soloist interact with the audience, play on his feet, sings, play by heart, dances, narrate stories, perform acrobacies.

Mostly I feel sad good musicians like the cellists below (James Baik and Eugene Lin) don't make their music a powerful experience for the audience, like Muse concerts (as an example). We classical players must be taught in school how to make our recitals a HUGE STAGE SHOW.

In classical concerts the audience cannot talk, clap or move in their chairs. We are competing with Rock and Tailor Swift now for audience. We cannot give the audience less than what Rolling Stones give to them.

The religious Classical music experience in concert halls is still our job. OK. We are a kind of religion for a few iniciates. This is cool, we can keep it. But there are tones of other experiences we as musicians can give to the audience.

We can keep playing opera concert magic concerts with soloist like Andrea Boccelli. People love them, they get very emotional, very moved, it's like magic. But there are other structures today we can develop.

When 2cellos showed up playing cool rock videoclips, plus concerts with 2 parts (first Classical in acoustic cellos, 2nd rock with electric cellos) they changed the paradigma for us. They changed the future of the Classical experience. We need to be humble and listen to what the audience wants to hear. I'm sure we are creative and talented enough to complete the task, to fulfill this challenge.

lots of personal family stuff has been happening and that has delayed me being able to post anything on a schedule but i just watched FuryForged video on the alchemy lab project that hes been working on, plus the section of Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance has given some bangers, its been awhile since I've felt inspired

so alchemy, the idea that i had when watching the FuryForged vid was the importance that ecology plays in the development of alchemy, specifically with moss and its symbiosis with mushrooms. the central practice of alchemy is synthesis and distillation of the materials in order to transform it. Lichens are a platonic ideal of synthesis and have a habit of growing in places that are inhospitable to most other sedentary species. Their central to decomposition and the cycling of nutrients that is only possible because of the transformative nature of biology. The Philosophers Stone is definitely some sort of lichen growing on some unrefined metallic ore.

I like this idea because it connects alchemy to ecology which then allows me to then connect it to concepts that ecology is related to such as witches, medicine, nature spirits, and the gods.

Given this is a universe is strongly tied to mythology, alchemy plays a large part in the different Terran cultures development of material science and medicine. This means that most jobs get affected by alchemy on some level. as societies progress, literature and reading become more wide spread, alchemy become one of the first practices that gets launched into the cultural conscious as a new and exciting practice despite it existing for thousands of years.

Alchemy is a sister process to Philosophy, being able to read and write gave you access to any Mythic Art as long as you had the time and energy to put into the process of discovery. This also has a lot of interplay with how Deities interact with their Myths.
