In photometry, luminous flux or luminous power is the measure of the perceived power of light. It differs from radiant flux, the measure of the total power of electromagnetic radiation (including infrared, ultraviolet, and visible light), in that luminous flux is adjusted to reflect the varying sensitivity of the human eye to different wavelengths of light.

Light Flux

Messed around in MuseScore for this week's challenge, for something different.

Early morning,
One star remaining,
It’s a good day too.

A wandering poet and ascetic Zen priest, Santōka was a disciple of Ogiwara Seisensui, one of the first poets to discard the traditional use of the 5-7-5 structure in haiku.

Santōka’s poetry emphasizes the necessity of sabi (solitude) in order to achieve spiritual enlightenment and serenity.

words:

I froze at the podium 
blinky blinky in my turtle shell
i got the hot wax anemia short circuit 
i almost fell
she asked me how can you live without sunlight
we turned our heads and we agreed
you tell me now the weeds we pulled out were stuck in tight
i said the recent rains made them easy to pull
she pulled up in a quick way and rolled down her window
I dropped the flowered bag in there and then she was gone
there is a scrungie on a fish 
there is a scrubber on that fish
you are delightful as a wish and I’m glad you’re gone
she asks how an you live without sunlight
we turned our heads and we agreed
frozen at the podium 
blinky blinky in my turtle shell

recent rains

dark clouds menacing
– I doubt we shall reach shelter
before the deluge

The basis of this track is a recording of a thunderstorm made a couple of months back. The rhythm tracks are generated solely from that storm recording and you can hear the original sounds of thunder and rain in the background, throughout the track. Enjoy!

At the Gate

The 1566 celestial phenomena over Basel is quite renowned. Less well-known is the account by Johannes Carinus, also dated August 7, 1566, which describes what may well be the first abduction phenomenon. In a letter to his wife, he recounts:
“In my dream, I found myself aboard one of the black ships we had seen in the sky that morning... I cannot describe what I saw, my mind was too troubled...”
Johannes Carinus continues his story by describing what may well have been the effect of an acceleration.
“…Three times, I felt an invisible hand crushing me. My ears were ringing, I could no longer move…”
He finally ends his letter by describing a state of weightlessness.
“…I was about to lose consciousness when I felt my body come back to life, my mind lighten… and I was floating in the air…”
