Somewhere in 1997 or so I wrote this song while deep into serious Buddhist practice and also listening to a lot of very blues, funk, jazz and fusion inspired Christian gospel music, a genre that I find deeply inspiring. Obviously, there are Reggae influences as well, a genre I also very much appreciate. It has taken 26 years for it to finally emerge in recorded form. I am very grateful for the talented help of: Mz. Dee on main vocals (recorded by Jon Otis, and, yes, her vocals are vastly better than mine), Santiago Jimenez on guitar, and Doug Largent on organ. Songwriting, mixing, production, mastering, drum and horn programming, secondary vocals, and bass are by me. Thanks to everyone that inspired this song! Thanks to Har-Prakash for encouraging me to finally finish it. Thanks to MidJourney for the image. As with all of my music, there are elements of deep reverence and irreverence, seriousness and mirth, reference and iteration, hopefully living together in some whole that stretches boundaries just a bit in some skillful way. May it inspire, entertain, and amuse. Best wishes! -Daniel

Sadhu!

I reply to a question on X about my use of a term related to those who get stuck in the jhanas with a varieties of perspectives, hopefully of some value.

Slow, contemplative, late night ramblings and musings on psychopathy, existential risk, Jack Vance's The Institute from the Demon Princes series, biological risk, nuclear war, paladins, meditation, spirituality, and more. I go pretty full-on Doomer here. Very much not my usual cheery fare. Spoiler alerts! Recorded curled up in bed on a Sennheiser/Apogee MK4 Digital microphone with the pop filter typically used on a Shure SM7B. Crickets and rain sounds courtesy of Nature.
