Once again Transparent Abelard is blessed through the agency of Michael Northam with a gem in the realm of textures, textiles, twinkling on the dharma path, coming into view from the very compelling Nine Ways site of Raven Cypress Wood, link below
Called a wheel of sound it appears to me like a cross-world puzzle, a pan-acrostic, a work of concrete poetry, the Mongol calligrammes of an even more painterly Apollinaire, the himalyan gematria...
"Within the Yungdrung Bön religious tradition there is a style of poetry that is considered an advanced art and is often used to praise spiritual masters or states of realization. The poetic verse is written in a kind of graph in which each syllable is written within its own geometric space often in contrasting colors that form patterns or images. These syllables then intersect with other lines of poetry or verse. The arrangement of syllables must be made in such a way that they must make sense with each intersecting syllable."
