I know there is a website which says how often the word appears in print by each year. I know Merriam Webster have a version but this is not the one I am looking for as the word I want to trace is not in their dictionary and I know I have looked up this word before.

I saw an amazing video of sand dunes. It was taken from a fixed camera which had taken images over a long period of time (not just a single day). The images had then been put together to show how the sand dunes changed and moved. You could see them moving like the sea. I can not find this video anywhere; does anyone know what the video is?

I read an article once about people who viewed their creativity as being part of possession or coming to them through the spiritual realm. It included a story about someone who would write songs or poems when spirits came to her but she had to catch them as they floated past. Sometimes she missed them and they took their inspiration to someone else. Once she was outside and one passed and she chased it and caught it by the toe but then when she wrote down the poem it was backwards.

I am interested in quoting this as I am writing about mask and ritual but I can not find the original source. Does anyone else know this story?
