Below

Imagination – it’s a wonderful thing. We all possess it, can access it at any time we wish, it costs nothing unlike many other objects we use to give ourselves a emotional boost and the ‘fix’ it gives us lasts far longer than a mug of coffee or a chunk of chocolate (even the really good stuff). It’s also significant in creating the pleasure each of us get out of reading – once we really engage with a book, a poem or music, our imaginations are sparked and we can embark on all sorts of journeys and adventures - big and small - that we may never find time to do in reality.

Above

Water is Life; Life is Water
poem by Ezediuno Louis Odinakaose

Ho water!
Sustainer of life,
You that has both life and death in your power
You show your wrath
By fading out of our pounds, streams and rivers,
Increasing your salinity
And tainting yourself with pathogens,
These are the weapon of your vengeance
When humanity abuse you.
But with your fury you still love us,
Like a mother's love for her first born child
Your gentle touch eases my nerves
And relaxes my muscles
From you I satisfy my thirst,
You give free to the animals of the wide;
From the biggest to the smallest,
The prey and the predator.
Oh mother of mothers you deserve to be called.
The magi in the desert smile and make
Their tents where your oasis of love is found.
Without you
There would be no life.
Oh great and wonderful molecule water.
I cry out every spring
The season of your plentifulness
Water is Life; Life is Water!

AQUA

Satori is a quiet awakening. A moment of clarity, captured in sound.
After two years of silence and transformation, Martins Garden returns with a body of work that offers no answers – only open space.
These twelve tracks unfold like chapters of a journey: moving through organic electronica, mystical dub, fragile melodies and cinematic atmospheres. An album like an inner temple – meditative, layered, luminous.
Satori is not a concept album in the traditional sense. It is a path. A path that completes itself through listening.

Dancer: Alquimia Nomade: https://instagram.com/alquimianomade
Production: CUMPA: https://instagram.com/cumpa.av
Karma is a spiritual belief that is all about cause and effect. The thinking is that if you put good into the world, good comes back to you. If you choose to do harm, well, you can't cheat karma, my friend. While some of us prefer to call it the Golden Rule—"do unto others as you would have them do unto you"—the sentiment remains the same. Be kind, my friend …

Karma

Shadows And Dust 
by Liam Hughes

All we may be is shadows and dust  
At least we can flow along with the gust  
We'll end up travelling further than we must  
At least our soles aren't turning to rust  
We'll make it back in time maybe only just  
Trying to figure out which ones we can trust
   
There comes a time when all things must end  
Even when we're wasting time learning to pretend  
All we remember is the times that we spend  
Wondering how long until your broken hearts mend  
The decisions we make are getting hard to defend  
Wondering whether to break the rules that we bend   

Where will these thoughts eventually lead  
Tricked by our anger, then by our greed
Eventually, all prisoners have to be freed  
Whether it's from what they desperately need 
Can't decide if to retreat or if to proceed  
Whether to tell truth or whether to mislead

We Are But Dust And Shadows

Foreign Lands
by Robert Louis Stevenson

Up into the cherry tree
Who should climb but little me?

I held the trunk with both my hands
And looked abroad on foreign lands.

I saw the next door garden lie,
Adorned with flowers, before my eye,

And many pleasant places more
That I had never seen before.

Garden of Secrets

Garden Of Secrets

Along She Came 
by Mustafa Mohammed

Along she came with the moon of March 
With April's flowers upon her lips 
And the springtime in her eyes 
Dimpled daffodils on her cheeks 
With the scent of paradise Splendor dancing at her feet 
In a precious morning rise. 
She stole the sadness and the tears 
And gave me sweet pearls of joy 
Cascading from her sacred heart 
Bathing me in fountains Of eternal peace.

She Came Along

From Within
by Brenan Stewart

It has to come from within 
When the world offers you no hope 
And the tides have turned against you 
When the people around you just say ‘nope’ 
And there is still so much left to go through
 It’s tempting to look for the easy way out 
To ask others what they would do 
But in life, when you want to give in 
And you know there is no other way 
The one who succeeds is the one who continues 
The one who finds his strength from within

From Within

The Eloquence Of Silence
by Ifedayo Oshin

We speak too much of so little 
Like we truly know that much of so much 
Yet there’s so much 
We know so little about 
Speech ought to be 
For knowing minds, not talking lips 
Those who know as much ought to 
Speak so little of much 
Not of secrecy, or pride 
But of eloquent silence 
In which pure knowledge find profound expression.

The Eloquence of Silence

The Eloquence Of Silence

Origami 
by Joyce Sutphen 

It starts
with a blank sheet,
an undanced floor,
 
air where no sound
erases the silence.
As soon as
 
you play the first note,
write down a word,
step onto the empty stage,
 
you've moved closer
to the creature inside.
Remember—
 
a square
can end up as frog, cardinal,
mantis, or fish.
 
You can make
what you want,
do what you wish.

ODE TO WATER

Liquid, colorless and clear
Critical life source so dear
Traveler from heaven’s hydrosphere
Blessing to states of natural matter.

Piping down from mountains high
To streams and rivers nigh
With relief and human sigh
Waving illnesses and diseases bye

For eating and digestion
Water is of no mean disposition
For bodily health and affections
Water takes on cellular functions.

Flows as sweat or tears on life’s journey
Or how complete can life’s discovery
Without water be to shed a bad memory
Which clogs recovery or life’s glory.

A perfect partner and first–born
To our glorious Golden morn
Sending us life’s way each dawn
Or waiting quietly our return

Release date: 22 March - World Water Day

I am not a dancer
I am a dakini
I don’t dance ~ I embody

I am not a dancer
I am a priestess
I don’t dance ~ I bridge the unseen and the seen

I am not a dancer
I am an artist
I don’t dance ~ I write poetry with my body

I am not a dancer
I am an alchemist
I don’t dance ~ I transmute

I am not a dancer
I am a healer
I don’t dance ~ I am medicine
I am not a dancer
I am a sourceress
