nice pics!
the Om in the mantra is sometimes spelled AUM, it represents the sound of the universe humming and its root is the same as omni- meaning All or That Thou Art.
I always remembered this piece from the upanishads.
"AUM is the bow, the arrow is the Self, Brahman the target. By the undistracted man is It penetrated, and One should come to be in It, as the arrow in the mark."
that's nice about the sand, I never heard that before.
