This was an inspiration I had once during giving Reiki. Since then I
am trying to reproduce it. Simultaneously I saw two snakes winding
(Spiral!) arround a post.

This one I discovered during piece meditations of Brahma Kumaris. I
observed I used to play it when the lady was speaking abou it...

right. not every beat means work.
Lightness: rather quick and light beat, often 3/4
Brutality: slow heavy beat

yes, we can collect a "dictionary" :-)
Serious: the more concrete the subject become, the more dificult the

To prevent from somone saying: "this is bull shit, I can express that
in a completely different way": there certainly are many ways. To
list up some may help some musicians to broaden their expressions,
maybe more efficiently than scores would...
