Levitating, Meditating, Flute-playing Gnu by the Nevrax Design Team
![[Levitating, Meditating, Flue-playing Gnu]](/graphics/meditate-tiny.jpg)
This color drawing depicts a levitating gnu, deep in meditation, wrapped snugly in a gold robe. Both he and his computer float gracefully above the floor—only his tail lightly touches the ground. He gently holds a recorder between his front hooves, as if he has just gotten the inspiration to charm his computer with music. There is a gleam in his eyes as he gazes ahead at his computer screen.
We thank the artists of the Nevrax Design Team, for drawing this beautiful picture, and their employer, Nevrax Limited, for giving them time to work on it.
