Take the path that leads to nowhere

If you would be so kind, click on this link before you start reading anything else. I promise it's not scary. In fact, it's from a movie called The Fountain, and is quite innocuous by itself since it's orchestral.

The significance of that particular song lies in its name, which you probably noticed when (if?) you clicked. Death is the Road to Awe. It's a Mayan saying that ties in with The Fountain's idea of death being a way of escape. If you haven't seen the movie, I would recommend it, with the caveat that it is very sad and a bit weird, because it's Darren Aronofsky.

I've known this song for a long time because Clint Mansell's soundtracks make for really good writing music, but I thought about it for the first time in a while in class last time when we were talking about death and so on. Then I connected it somehow with the concept of infinity, and from my tired and admittedly very odd little mind came this:

I'm definitely not an art major, since my usual medium of choice is words, not visuals. Sometimes, though, I get these wild urges, and out comes GIMP and I produce something of dubious quality but generally some symbolic meaning. We'll see how much meaning this actually has when my conscious mind is more in control than my subconscious.
