This is the first and only take, I started strumming the chords and the boys joined in and nailed it. Dave Toolan is playing the bass for a change, Leon Carter is playing guitar, Jonny Rabbs is playing harmonica,Jim Sanders is on the drums and I'm singing.

Lyrics

An eye for an eye
A tooth for tooth
A life for lie
but here’s the truth
You get what you give
And you’ll reap what you sow
So live and let live
It’s time to let go

By taking revenge
you reload the gun
that murdered your father 
and will murder your son
How do you like it?
This merry-go-round
Every generation
fresh blood on the ground

Jerusalem
The City of Peace 
Violent devotion
never to cease
while the scriptures are clear
there’s one Golden Rule
Treat your neighbours
as you’d have them treat you

Forgive Israel
Forgive Palestine
I’ll forgive yours
and you forgive mine
If you want to be safe
don’t intimidate 
Hate begets hate
and grace begets grace

Mitzvah goreret Mitzvah

An Eye For An Eye

In Tibetan Buddhism, Bardo is the central theme of the Bardo Thodol (literally Liberation Through Hearing During the Intermediate State), the Tibetan Book of the Dead, a text intended to both guide the recently deceased person through the death Bardo to gain a better rebirth and also to help their loved ones with the grieving process.
I wrote this tune just after my grandmother died  to help understand the joy of her spirit leaving her long long suffering body and move on to its next amazing state of being.
Thanks millions to  Rachael S for such a beautiful and enchanting vocal .
Keep Joyful and Kind .

Tonight

An atmospheric soundtrack with minimal percussion — electro ambient with piano & bass for occasional neoclassical, jazz, and R&B notes at a very chill 60 bpm to drift along to Cosmic Dust

.................................
While reading about the Archimedean spiral, I stumbled upon an image captured by ALMA of the European Southern Observatory. As seen in my cover art, LL Pegasi shines in a binary star system. There, it and its companion star are “locked in a stellar waltz” that weaves a spiraling cosmic dust trail as they orbit through gaseous material emanating from “old star LL Pegasi.“ (links to full explanation, image, and video in the credits below).

Wonderstruck, I became aware of how universal the spiral is — from sea shells on beaches to star trails in the Pegasus constellation — how human DNA, too, is a spiral chain of atoms, a double-helix that contains genetic code to materialize into physical form as what we call biology of the Natural World. 

Science teaches that everything in the known universe originated in the Big Bang, a topic that, for me, always conjures up Joni Mitchell lyrics from Woodstock — 

We are stardust, we are golden. 
We are billion-year-old carbon.
And we’ve got to get ourselves 
Back to the garden 

— all of which inspired Cosmic Dust. 

Welcome to all, and to science and sci-fi enthusiasts🖖

“ Colpi Dritti “  by Luke 

During Medieval & Renaissance days the fencing word..
“Colpi Dritti”…means: “Vadi blows from the right side used to defend one self” as the warriors had to do…

Just a fun experimental piece …
