Greek architecture taught me that the column is where the light is not, and the space between is where the light is. it is a matter of no-light, light, no-light, light. a column and a column brings light between them. to make a column which grows out of the wall and which makes its own rhythm of no-light, light, no-light, light: that is the marvel of the artist.

Like wind-- in it, with it, of it. of it just like a sail, so light and strong that, even when it is bent flat, it gathers all the power of the wind without hampering its course. like light-- in light, lit through by light, transformed into light. like the lens which disappears in the light it focuses. like wind. like light. just this--on these expanses, on these heights.
Strong Light Wind
Crystals are amplifying minerals. you have a crystal in a radio - it amplifies the sound waves. you have a crystal in a television set - it amplifies the light waves. when you hold crystals, they amplify thought waves.
