don't forget sweetest day!

long-time readers know we here at bccy will celebrate any holiday related to chocolate! in this inclusive spirit, i'd like to remind you that tomorrow is sweetest day.

distribute chocolate to all! readers, if one of your local holidays with a chocolate tradition is coming up, please email me pronto. don't want to miss a single one. . .

and here's a great article on the push by several churches to encourage fair-trade coffee consumption.

on a personal note, i am just fascinated by the last track of manorama's new yoga cd, which is a spell-binding version of panini's maheshvara sutras. you really can't translate it into english, since it's a re-arrangement of the sanskrit alphabet sounds.

panini is said to have composed it from hearing shiva nataraja's upper-right hand damaru sound 14 times, once for each line in the sutra. . .

manorma calls this piece "quite cosmic;" i just think it's an incredible example of her dynamic a cappella singing style.
