Une superbe entrée en matière : une progression "statique" qui gagne en profondeur, servie par de très beaux sons. Bravo, Cyril! La suite?

Magnifique, pleine de détails subtiles !

Magnifique! So much drama in your playing and the melody is so uplifting.

Très bon morceau, puissant ... trop court :))

Beneath the Bodhi Tree

We shall not rise until we know
Come noble truths
Salvage this show
Why do we suffer?
Why do we crave?
Say,
Cessation of desire to meet light old age

Prove pure path
The right eight show way
Good vision
Good thought
Good speech
Good day
Good livelyhood
Effort
Mindfulness and action
Weaved wisdom concentrated
Content has traction

To Dukkha debonair
Satisfied with real
Ruse rooted Samudaya
You suffer thirst by feel
Nirvana, be known
Nirodha find light
From Mārga
Our eight fold path meant right

Born beneath the Bodhi tree
Cyclic Samsāra sits
Transcience for fear food free
Karmic Dharma fits
Not torn with our time
Minded body synced
Not shocked
Transcendence through rhyme
Be harmonic miner clocked

We shall not rise until we know
Come noble truths
Salvage this show
Why do we suffer?
Why do we crave?
Say,
Cessation of desire to meet light old age

I don't quite believe in reincarnation of a single spirit although the discovery of DNA in a way sheds a bit of light on it being possible at least in potential code as traits that are passed on. They are either honed and retained or lost through long term positive or negative behavior and discernment of honest or dishonest action from our beings. Epigenetics looks to be starting to show that nurture, particulariy early in life actually enables and disables chemical signals in our genes. This has been shown in rats by a mother that licks her offspring vs a mother that doesn't and the different effects on those baby rats growing up and those scientists believe that translates to humans although they can't stick us in labs to prove it yet. So it looks like nurture may end up holding more influence then early geneticists told us and less is set in stone then we had previously thought. Epigenetics is a young science so it's difficult to make a solid reality from is so far but it does appear to have huge relevancy with our tendencies throughout life and towards addiction and habits. 

Whether we have a spirit that inhabits a body and fully comes back I'm not sure we will ever know that but I guess elements of past spirits and all past life does exist in our code at some level.

This has a lot more potential to bear fruit with our world of knowledge of course because we can actually teach ourselves what other humans think and have thought and what they did with their lives and make our own version of those truths based on our unique life experience.

This track is paying homage to Buddha

Buddha, as far as I am aware is one of the rare old teachers who said go find yourself and the power is inside you and around us. We generally escape the reality of ourselves with desires and indulgence in materialism but have the ability to find our true spiritual selves with discipline and an honest lifestyle. His main realisation was, we suffer, like it or not and his teachings allow us to not amplify that suffering with cravings or self harm but become one with it via a balanced approach  ⚖️  Re-living or re experiencing feelings from the difficult parts of our lives so they don't become a controlling factor in how we react to any situation seems to be central to finding that zen place where we can respond rationally to any situation no matter how trivial or significant. The reason I mention epigenetics and early life is a few scholars seem to allude to a lot of our problematic traits and strengths being born from trauma or solid nurture early in life and are not something we would usually medically consider when contemplating our own shadow searching for that oneness in ourselves...

So in that light I think rebirthing thought in our heads may actually be quite important to deal with any grief from our experience so it doesn't manifest itself as physical ailment from the hidden stress it causes us.

89_ This is my Cup of Coffee! - released on 14 October 2025

Look, don't look away! Don't say, "This is not my cup of tea!" Yes, stay true to yourself, but if something interests or bothers you, then ask questions, show interest, and maybe you can change something. For example, order a cup of coffee, say "This is my cup of coffee!" and at least think about it!😉

This is my Cup of Coffee!

I had left the pastorate in 1985 but many friends remained in the little town of St. Francis, Kansas.  One of them was a woman who found love again after the death of her spouse.  I composed this song for them and officiated their wedding and as far as I know, they lived happily ever after.  
Then came the wedding of my oldest daughter and she requested the song be done for her and Thor (yes, his real name;) That was 27 years ago.  
This past summer, I had suggested the song to Axel and after hearing my rough, 35 year old demo, he loved the song straight away, but wanted to change it up a bit.  The song I had written was done in a more devotional 4/4 meter, he wanted to bring to it the flavor of a Celtic dance.  Enter Mike Fox who gives the lyrics a definitive voice and excellent guitar to the backing track.  I loved the track art Axel had created because it resembled the wedding of my 2nd granddaughter Grace at the end of September, a lovely garden ceremony in Oklahoma City.  It resembles it right down to the kilt another son-in-law wore by request.  They didn't use the song as part of their ceremony, but I dedicate this new version to Grace and Ethan and wish them a lifetime of love, happiness and fond adventures together.
Thank you Axel and Mike for lavishing your talents on my songwriting efforts.  I am truly honored.  Hear more of their fabulous music creativity @soundcloud.com/axel-m-501052973, and @soundcloud.com/michael-fox-925325997

Gathered--Lyrics:
 What are we gathered here for, what have we come to see?
Two people who believe that a better life
Is lived together not separately.
Father we ask you blessing upon the union of these two,
That the vows they are both confessing
Will bind their hearts to each other and You.

Bridge:
And it's more than just "tying a knot" and it's more than just getting "hitched"
We're seeing two hearts being sewn together,
We're witnessing it stitch by stitch.
It's the miracle of seeing two become one,
Though the two are really not the same,
Like the paint and the canvas are separate until 
The Artist joins them in a beautiful frame.

Repeat Verse:
What are we gathered here for, what have we come to see?
Two people who believe that a better life
Is lived together not separately.
Father we ask you blessing upon the union of these two,
That the vows they are both confessing
Will bind their hearts to each other and You.
Will bind their hearts to each other and You
Will bind their hearts to each other and You.

Lyrics:

He was born
when the fall
brought down the rain
And the clouds were black
Thunder raged
through the skies

And they gave 
him a name
that brought him fame
When he grew up
and left his home
towards the unknown

Facing the danger 
Facing the unknown
His heart guided him through it all
Towards new lands
Towards new seas
He found the magic in his soul
The words untold

He was called the Child of the Storm
and through him all the magic was reborn
reborn

Embracing his shadows
and he fought them down
Sailing across the waters
under the pale stars
Healing his wounds
Chasing the demons
of the mankind
Risking his life
for all those poor souls

Follow your heart
Your heart

Learning the magic
The way to his inner soul
He studied hard and found a way of his own
Following his teacher,
the man who raised him up
They held the magic in their hearts no man could undo

He was known as the Child of the Storm
and through him all the magic was reborn
reborn

Preparing his boat
for the one last time
Sailing across the waters
under the windy skies
Saying his farewell
Facing the demons
for the one last time
He spent all his powers
and then he fell down

The symbol laid on his forehead
as they laid him down
Towards the city of the dead
And the white flowers filled the air
and people stood there
Letting their saviour go

Change your stars
Your stars

He ruled the air, 
the seas, the earth
He healed the injured, 
cleansed the dirt
He walked the land
of the dead
Spoke the words
none had ever said

The Child Of The Storm

Origins

Ooh..

When the darkness comes
You can look for me
When the darkness calls(it calls)
You can look for me...

Let me be your lullaby
Only dream of me(only dream of me)
Let me be the voice you take
Through the night

You can mark my words
I will be always be
The voice you know 
As you close your eyes with me...

Let me be your lullaby 
Only dream of me
Let me be the voice you take
Through the night
And you can hear my lullaby
And only dream of me
Take me through the night
The night

I want you to take me(your lullaby)
I want you to take me (I’ll be your lullaby)
I want you to take me
Through the night

And you can hear my lullaby
And only dream of me
Take me through the night
Take the night
