The original name of this series was going to be “How the Sausage is Made”… because that is ultimately what these videos will show, and while some may find that aspect of this appealing… that is not the target audience.  Instead, I want to contribute to the body of work designed to be viewed casually… with the intent to relax and refresh.  I know that I play with shaders active because as I run around through my world, yes… I am working… but I am also surrounded by genuine and often breathtaking beauty… and peace.  Yes… there are moments of action and suspense, but my Minecraft world is where I go to find my own sense of Zen… and with just a touch of editing, I think it may prove of value to others looking for the same thing.  So without further ado, I present to you… NOT “How the Sausage is Made”, but rather, “Behind the Velvet Curtain”.  I hope you will join me on my explorations.
