REFRESH

Sometimes we have to find respite wherever it might be hiding, just to refresh a bit. It's not all that elusive, really. It surrounds us...but you just have to pause long enough to let your senses take over from the logical overload of every-day life. That is just simply getting back to your natural self. To attain that state, I just need to see, hear or touch water in some way, and then the contemplative games begin. What is your trigger to refresh?

Here's some other FANTASTIC tracks from Eastern Odyssey after hearing 'Critical Mass' that I have immersed myself in lately in order to refresh. The overlays and timbres are decadently rich for the auditory palette.

SANCTUARY (great to drive to)

IVORY TOWER  (I feel like I'm in a movie theater with this one)

GREAT DIVIDE (found during the dream state)

VOYAGER (the journey to fully awake via beat)

COLOSSUS (yes to other-worldly)

KONG (overtones of belly dancing meets spy vs. spy)

First it was Enigma, and then E.S. Posthumus and now Eastern Odyssey that is definitely energy transference music...the power of 'E'!

To my surprise this little furry ball of fun was wandering outside my abode with no owner in sight. He was just a playful pup that I could see was well taken care of. But, alas, he only had a collar and no ID tag. This was on a Saturday night so there was nowhere to take him to see if he had a chip. He was very thirsty (after all it's the Desert!) and hungry. I posted on the Nextdoor neighborhood app hoping his owner could be located, but because he was so darn cute I didn't give any physical description because I wanted to make sure he got re-connected with his correct human. Low and behold after an hour had passed I heard some young lady walking through the complex calling out a name. Now she was very lucky I happened to be home and happened to be observant of both the dog and her. This is just a reminder to make sure your pet has the proper ID and is chipped because they can't tell us who they belong to when they get lost. Yesterday was National Dog Day, by the way.
