“Don’t pick it!” [naviarhaiku623]

I recently came back from a 10-day vipassana meditation experience, so the title is geekily funny for those in the know! Ultra-niche! Sorry! 😜

This track is "not eligible for recommendation" by the SoundCloud algorithm, so be careful ... you might find sonic entertainment algorithms can't reach (or understand)! 😜
