OT: visual looping in China and the time: 02:03:04 on 05/06/07
Chris Cohn (samba) as he frequently does just sent this amazing
information
to me.
Check it out.
All of these dancers (21) are deaf, and
take visual cues for the timing of the dance from assistants at the
side of the stage. They are state sponsored in China. The dance is
called the 1000 Hands of Kuan Yin - who if you don't know is the mosts
loving compassionate Goddess and chooses to be reborn again and again
in order to relieve the suffering of human beings lost in our ego
bound illusions.

It's such amazing visual looping.
Also, it is just about 20 minutes away from
4 seconds after 3 minutes after 2 a.m. which makes it
02:03:04 on 05/06/07 for the first and only time (in each time
zone) in the calendar that
we use in the west.
Expressed as a compound time signature it is

Loop that, my good friends all over the world.
