Its all ways great to me but current works up at The Rubin Museum are the bestest best imho.....
Great floor titled "Remember You Too Shall Die", another floor has Bohme and Welling books, juicy one's w/ the amazing hand painted illustrations.
Also its free from Fridays 7-10pm.
Sounds great...Bohme the alchemy guy? Didnt know they did that stuff there.
Wish could have hooked up today....however......
Will get over..

lets do it another day, the looch/ry together thing there would be great!!
yes Bohme but there are different editions and this one shown has original hand painted illustrations
the great book we all have/love "alchemy & mysticism" show the links to what Rubin is showing, BLESS THEM, they rock!!
Boehme is a significant figure in Western thought, though almost impenetrable to the modern mind. Pretty difficult to read, especially since mystic-speak is very hard to translate effectively, but just looking at the emblems is illuminating. They were made by German and English followers; this book is a relatively simple place to start.
Remember this thread?
I have a bunch of meetings this week and the person I am meeting with has chosen the Rubin as our home base for the week. I will be there a couple of hours a day tomorrow thru Friday - looking forward to many hours of seeing.
great b. tell me your feelings
