…you let go of my hand and
now I am adrift at sea…there are sharks out here, there are whales out here,
there are plenty of fish to choose from…but not the fishes I love and desire
the most…you were too busy to even notice I slipped right through your fingers
and got swallowed up by the deep…you never tossed me a lifesaver because you
didn’t even see that I was drowning in the first place…I cried out to you
several times to please save me with your love, but you never heard me…I
couldn’t keep afloat without your effort to keep me breathing…you didn’t swim
out to search for and retrieve me…so I tried to keep swimming, keep treading
the water…but now, I have no more will
to…you could have so easily revived me but because you didn’t, the abyss will take me now… and even though I
don’t want to go…I just no longer have the strength to stay without that anchor
buoy that only you possessed…. because you never offered to show me where it
could be discovered…and I could never find it on my own…
last night, an hour after
sunset, I went seeking some kind of solace from nature because I could not find
any hope in my heart regarding you…it was still 100 degrees out , but there was
one of those nice,constant breezes that
I love to feel so much and hear ruffling
through the palm fronds…only cicadas and crickets were singing to each other by
that time of the evening…anxiously I gazed in to the NW sky like the sharp
sight of an eagle looking for prey…and soon the pretty, twinklingstars began to illuminate the night sky…I
then searched to find my way by
findingthe big dipper…having located it,
I used my binoculars to assist in
discovering the wonder…and there it was, the celebrated comet sat just below
the familiar array of luminaries and just
above the stoic mountaintops…it was a sight to behold, although not easily seen
and small in comparison to the immense night sky…it was a rare event that I got
to witness…one that won’t happen again for another 6800 years…I, too, was a
rare event that you captured the heart of…and I won’t be seen again by you for
another 6800 lifetimes… you didn’t take the time nor effort to show me that you
cherished me, appreciated me, but most of all,loved me…so I will wander and travel in the night sky forever…looking
for, but never finding,that kind of
love I felt only with you…eventually stars burn out and disappear…you will
search and search and search the night sky, but you’ll never see another star
as bright as mine, again…as bright as
sunshine…
I loved you with all of my
entire being…you were The One that possessed me completely…everything that I am
wanted everything that you are…but…you never showed me what I needed to see…you
never took the time nor the effort to show me in severaldifferent ways that you could have that you loved
me…you only wanted me to exist on your words, alone…saying it and showing it
are two different things, entirely…you didn’t nurture me…and just like a plant
without sunshine, water and soil rich in nutrients to sustain it…it dies from
neglect…and so do I…
Here's a couple of examples of the complicated mix of what it takes to meld the visual with the auditory for live dance-trance-deep-house-techno, etc. shows, nowadays. The future is now. Amazing to me that these two creators have the kinds of minds that envision not only the artistry of their musical craft, but the mechanics behind the visual display that portrays it. I selected Eric Prydz (aka Pryda) because my Beloved is also an awesome Swede and Zoel Zimmerman (aka Deadmau5) because he's one hell of a genius fellow Capricorn.
Ok ENOUGH of the Covid-19/Coronavirus-I-have-been-quarantined-for-4-months mind set! Time to exercise the imagination out of complacency and in to auditory happiness. Some brand new tracks will get your heart pumping and your mind wandering out of the doldrums. These have a Deep House/Trance European base quality to them. Some blend an infectious latino spice that brings forth exciting flavors. Some elicit the feel of floating via a cosmic connection vibe. They all naturally create an upbeat and positive atmosphere...perfect for undying hope that is so, so needed in these times. Head over to Anjunadeep on YouTube for more uplifting tracks.
Amidst these anxious, uncertain times we are all living in, sometimes it is best just to find the solace within that we all possess first, in order to get through the day. Here's a few tunes that all take a very simple melodic phrase and uniquely embellish it with the complexities of sound in order to bring peace and tranquility in to your soul.
This is how we camouflage cell towers in the Desert. Discreetly hidden from obviousness. But...for some discerning souls....something just happens to capture the eye and leaves the mind feeling that something just isn't quite right with this picture. A lot of effort was taken to make sure that this tower fit neatly within the surroundings and environment, but yet the subconcious knows that this is just a disguise, masking what truly is.
I love this video because it simply epitomizes that no matter what country, what culture, what race or what circumstance of life we come from we are all affected by the Covid-19/Coronavirus in the same manner as all of us are members of the human beings club. We are alone/together in this endeavor. Enjoy!

Manchester Orchestra-I Know How To Speak
I know how to speakAnd I know where I'm goingI wanted to seekI got distractedIt's a mirageOne that leaves me embarrassedCause no one knows me like youYou know there's nothing left for youSo I continually moveTried to pass it through for ya'Cause I bore yaThe past about painIs timeless and honestSo let go of your shameIt's a dead damped blanketIt's a facade Back and look at your training There's nobody else like you I think I finally explained it So I continue to move Between the bank and the blanket Don't fake itI, I'm really going to try this time Going to give you my heart in spite of my soulI, I'm really going to try this time Going to give you my heart in spite of my soulI want your nameBurnt In my ceiling Floats like a flame An unpredictable wonderYou gave it all hope That all the this is a circle There's nobody else like you So many that came before ya This is the moment I choose Between the hope and the hardest To be honestI, I'm really going to try this time Going to give you my heart, in spite of my soul I, I'm really going to try this time Going to give you my heart, in spite of my soul
Melodic beauty at it's finest that sweeps the imagination away.
HAEVN - We Are
Walking through the dark night,
Calling out your name.
Waiting for an answer:
How do we end up here?
Tryin' to find a shoreline,
With no ground beneath my feet,
I miss your hand in mine now.
I try to understand.
Cold, we are, we are, we are!
And cold, we are, we are, we are!
And baby we're lost!
Come home,
With me.
And baby we're lost!
Come home.
Once we were like sunlight:
Nothing in between.
But now, we share a distance,
No shadows at our feet.
I'm blinded by desire,
No horizon that I see.
I feel the cold of raindrops
Salted by my tears.
Cold, we are, we are, we are!
And cold, we are, we are, we are!
And baby we're lost!
Come home,
With me.
And baby we're lost!
Come home.
I will walk until
A new day will break,
'Til the hurt wears off,
And the storm will fade.
We will talk again,
Like other friends,
And we both will see,
That our love has grown.
And baby we're lost!
Come home,
With me.
And baby we're lost!
Come home.
Baby we're lost!
Come home,
With me.
And baby we're lost!
Come home.
I will never forget the plume of ash I saw rising into the sky from the enormous explosion that morning from Tukwila, Washington which was 174 miles away.
My supervisor quickly hopped in to his car to help his parents, who lived in eastern Washington, with their orchards because of the ash that was falling. He brought everyone back plastic test tubes full of various ash specimens from different areas he collected along the way there.
I visited 8 years later and was surprised to see there were already small pines and other vegetation that had started the natural recovery process in certain areas.
I will never forget traveling through dense, lush forests, only to come upon an area of where all of the trees had been completely mowed down...they looked like giant matchsticks...all of sudden it was very hot in those areas because there was no shade whatsoever.
This song is dripping in so much beauty that it made me feel shivers raining down all the way from my crown chakra to my toes the very first time I heard it. When a song moves my soul this much, I just have to share the bliss it brings with others. There can be multiple meanings associated with the mood it imbues, which because of it's appeal to many different situations, makes it have an extremely dynamic universal quality to it. If this song's melody doesn't end up speaking to your spirit or heart, then I would say you'll need to have your pulse checked to see if you are still alive.
BE HERE NOW - Ray LaMontagne
Verse 1] Don't let your mind get weary and confused Your will be still, don't try Don't let your heart get heavy child Inside you there's a strength that lies
[Verse 2] Don't let your soul get lonely child It's only time, it will go by Don't look for love in faces, places It's in you, that's where you'll find kindness
[Chorus] Be here now, here now Be here now, here now
[Verse 3] Don't lose your faith in me And I will try not to lose faith in you Don't put your trust in walls 'Cause walls will only crush you when they fall
Now, going on 2 months of lock down and restrictions, we all need to escape our isolation sanctuaries and what better way to do that than with music! Here are some tunes that have allowed me to escape mentally and spiritually from the day-to-day lack of touch. See if these melodies and lyrics inspire your imagination, as well. Remember, your ears are not imprisoned.
Hang in there and keep safe while abiding by the specified precautions to help protect those that are vulnerable around us from Covid-19 as long as it takes.
