Great Ju! Keep ‘em coming. Loved the sound of the crow too!

The Genius Of The Crowd By Charles Bukowski (Read By Tom O'Bedlam - Music By Jonathan Reichert)

Special Thanks to Tom O'Bedlam and Charles Bukowski for the works before, I don't put this track on YouTube because I have alreday used the instrumental in my storytelling track (Beware Hey Young Boy Hey Young Girl) and it is monetized so I follow the rules of free things here on Soundcloud.

Lyrics : 

There is enough treachery, hatred violence absurdity in the average
Human being to supply any given army on any given day

And the best at murder are those who preach against it
And the best at hate are those who preach love
And the best at war finally are those who preach peace

Those who preach god, need god
Those who preach peace do not have peace
Those who preach peace do not have love

Beware the preachers
Beware the knowers
Beware those who are always reading books
Beware those who either detest poverty
Or are proud of it
Beware those quick to praise
For they need praise in return
Beware those who are quick to censor
They are afraid of what they do not know
Beware those who seek constant crowds for
They are nothing alone
Beware the average man the average woman
Beware their love, their love is average
Seeks average

But there is genius in their hatred
There is enough genius in their hatred to kill you
To kill anybody
Not wanting solitude
Not understanding solitude
They will attempt to destroy anything
That differs from their own
Not being able to create art
They will not understand art
They will consider their failure as creators
Only as a failure of the world
Not being able to love fully
They will believe your love incomplete
And then they will hate you
And their hatred will be perfect

Like a shining diamond
Like a knife
Like a mountain
Like a tiger
Like hemlock

Their finest art x3 for remember mind.

The Genius Of The Crowd By Charles Bukowski (Read By Tom O'Bedlam - Music By Jonathan Reichert)

This week I met with Professor Nick Groom, to discuss the life, work and reputation of the Bristolian poet Thomas Chatterton. Born in Redcliffe in  1752, Chatterton was a precocious talent. In just seventeen years of life he produced a great body of poems, plays, prose works and a collection of medieval writings that he attributed to a fictional 15th century monk named Thomas Rowley. We discussed the details of Chatterton's short life and the myths that surround his posthumous reputation.

Episode 57 - Thomas Chatterton

Gel ey gözüm ağla gülmezem ayruk
Şiir: Yûnus Emre
Gitar & vokal: Sümeyra

gel ey gözüm ağla gülmezem ayrık

bu bir ağıt.
çığlıklara. ve alkışlara. 

Dünyanın daha önce hiç gitmediğim bir yerinde bir millet yok oluyor. Hiç tanımadığım çocuklar korkudan titriyor -hâla yaşıyorlarsa-.
Hiç tanımadığım insanlar topraklarından ediliyor, kıyameti yaşıyor; belki de artık yaşamıyor.

Aynı dünyanın başka bir tarafında zalimin zulmü alkışlanıyor. 

Dünya bu işte. Çığlıkların koptuğu ve alkışların tutulduğu. 

tüm bunlara şahitliğimle devam ederken yola, olanların kalbime ağırlığına ancak temas edebildim. bir Yûnus Emre şiiri açtı kapıyı. 
aylardır içime bir yerlere yuva yapmış bu yas, böyle ifade buldu dün gece.

acıyan kalbimize şifa olsun dilerim. 🌹

Hak yolını gözlerisen
Gel yanalum dostlarıla
‘Âşık izin izlerisen
Gel yanalum dostlarıla

Yok bu dünyânun vefâsı
Bî-‘aded küllî cefâsı
Hîç bunun yokdur vefâsı
Gel yanalum dostlarıla

Hep yana yana bulmışlar
Hak dîdârına irmişler
Seferin kaydın görmişler
Gel yanalum dostlarıla

N'idem sanursın dünyâda
Yiter gezdügün hevâda
Dermân isteyelüm derde
Gel yanalum dostlarıla

Kanı ata kanı ana
Bildün bu dünyâyı fenâ
Anda râhat gerek câna
Gel yanalum dostlarıla

İy bî-çâre Yûnus hemân
Dost yolına gerek kurbân
Vir cânunı iste cânân
Gel yanalum dostlarıla

Yunus Emre

In today's reflection, I share a few thoughts based on this podcast between Stephen Jenkinson and Mattias Olsson. Here is the link https://shows.acast.com/5f1e8fc0494aa0305f09b961/60c075a2c6fb4a001b9a4b44.

As to my reflections, I'd love to know what you think to (inter alia) the presence of the trees. Do they offer us a few life lessons that we're failing to heed.

Author and activist Xander Dunlap joins me in this wide-ranging interview to discuss permanent ecological conflict, as theorized and documented via numerous case studies in his new book, This System is Killing Us: Land Grabbing, the Green Economy and Ecological Conflict, published through Pluto Press.

In today's reflection, I start to explore the slightly hackneyed subject of free will and choice. 

The audio is a little shorter than I expected but I was grappling with two dogs at the time.

Love,

Julian
