Mani Wheel




~They say most of your brain shuts down in cryo-sleep. All but the primitive side, the animal side. No wonder I'm still awake. Transporting me with civilians. Sounded like 40, 40-plus. Heard an Arab voice. Some hoodoo holy man, probably on his way to New Mecca. But what route? What route? I smelt a woman. Sweat, boots, tool belt, leather. Prospector type. Free settlers. And they only take the back roads. And here's my real problem. Mr. Johns... the blue-eyed devil. Planning on taking me back to slam... only this time he picked a ghost lane. A long time between stops. A long time for something to go wrong...~



Someone asked me what my handle "Alembic-Lynx" means so here is my best to describe it

"Alembic" means

The word "Alembic" has taken on a metaphorical meaning - anything that refines or transmutes, as if by distillation - as in "the alembic of creative thought."

Alembic is also a line of Guitars that Doug Irwin created and built for The Grateful Dead, "The Alembic" is also a famous club in San Francisco.

"Lynx" as applied means

A Totem name.As an animal spirit name the quality attributed to Lynx is "secrets". Lynx is associated with a particular type of clairvoyance which concerns a deeper truth about what people are hiding.

so Alembic-Lynx = creative secrecy and wisdom



ॐ भूर्भुवः॒ स्वः॒
तत्स॑वितुर्वरे॑ण्यम्
भ॒र्गो॑ दे॒वस्य॑ धीमहि।
धियो॒ यो नः॑ प्रचो॒दया॑त्॥
