Michael Grab is a land artist who “creates astonishing towers and orbs of balanced rocks using little more than patience and an astonishing sense of balance. Grab says the art of stone balancing has been practiced by various cultures around the world for centuries and that he personally finds the process of balancing to be therapeutic and meditative.” 

Over the past few years of practicing rock balance, simple curiosity has evolved into therapeutic ritual, ultimately nurturing meditative presence, mental well-being, and artistry of design. Alongside the art, setting rocks into balance has also become a way of showing appreciation, offering thanksgiving, and inducing meditation. Through manipulation of gravitational threads, the ancient stones become a poetic dance of form and energy, birth and death, perfection and imperfection.

From the Department of Awesome Natural Wonders comes this impressive geological formation - an enormous rock perfectly balanced atop a smooth mound. Located deep inside the forests of Finland, the balancing rock is called Kummakivi:

“There is still no scientific explanation for how the rock, whose given name translates as ‘strange rock’ in Finnish, has wound up in such a perplexing position.”

However it happened, it’s a pretty awesome sight. But we don’t recommend standing under it for too long.

Are you a Secret Unicorn? Do you crave cake? Then this stunning and completely edible creation might just be a dream come true for you!

We first encountered a single photo of this incredibly awesome “Rainbow Pegasus-Unicorn Mama & Baby Cake” over at Design You Trust, but without any sort of information about who made it. Thanks to Google’s reverse image search we were able to track down the source. This phenomenal cake was made by H. Sherman of Art2Eat Art Cakes in Boulder, Colorado. 

H. Sherman, the Geyser of Awesome salutes you and your magical cake-making skillz! Despite the fact that we didn’t get to taste this awesome cake, you’ve still made an awful lot of Secret Unicorns happy today.
