| 'Grain' Monster Opening |
 |
This is the opeining for the anime 'Monster'.
I recently found myself in love with this
amazing story and I decided to do a quick
search on YouTube for anything that might be
related to it ... I was soon disappointed.
Only three videos came out of that search!
So I edited the opening and ending(s) from
the fansub that I've been watching (obviously
named Anime Keep) and stuck 'em up here. The
manga's astounding and so far the anime
follows it exactly. Animation by Madhouse,
music by Kuniaki Haishima, original story by
Naoki Urasawa, and I love every second of it.
Please enjoy 'Grain".
P.S. Sorry I can't give you guys a 'clean'
opening.

My reading of "A Grain of Sand," by Robert W.
Service (1874-1958). You can find the text
of the poem here:

vice-A-Grain-Of-Sand/
Robert Service was not the first poet to
express the idea that larger mysteries might
be unlocked in a grain of sand, if we had the
eyes to see and the brain to comprehend.
Here is what William Blake (1757-1827) had to
say about it in "Auguries Of Innocence:"
"To see a World in a Grain of Sand
And a Heaven in a Wild Flower,
Hold Infinity in the palm of your hand
And Eternity in an hour."
It's a reductionist sentiment, the same
sentiment that underlies much of science: if
you can understand a thing from what it is
made of, and in turn understand what *that*
is made of, and so on, you can grasp the
fundamental truths of the universe.
Reductionism leads us from whirling galaxies
all the way down to the tiny scales of
quantum physics.
The space photographs were all created with

The first beach photograph is the work of
Francois Schnell, "Dune and Blue Sky," in the
public domain. The second beach photograph
is the work of kendiala, "Dune," licensed

photograph is by zenmasterlauren, "Child on
the Beach," in the public domain. You can
find these photographs by searching on each
artist's name at http://www.flickr.com/.
Music is by Mooma, "Entropy," from his album
"Herd Forming," licensed under the Creative

I don't normally present poetry this short,
but I was learning some new software.
Consider this video the result of testing.
Enjoy.
