Birds, River, and Thunderstorm at Martha Brae Headwaters, Trelawny, Jamaica LJP June 2025

I used to wander around at 3 am in Sendai, Japan when I couldn't sleep. This song is how that felt

Why is Nothing Open?

When the Israelites left Egypt, they were confronted by the Red Sea, an impossible barrier to cross. But God miraculously parted the sea and the people walked across on dry land. 40 years later, between the Israelites and the promised land is another body of water: the Jordan River in spring flood. Join us as we discuss the testing of their faith and God’s memorial of grace.

what do you know about the River?
what do you know about the Wind?
what do you know about What holds us all together? 
I would like to know you as a friend!

while by the Big River in Missouri during our Earthkeeper Wisdom School last gathering, I wondered what the nearby Plants and Stones knew about rootedness & belonging. I had heard that this river was low due to recent drought, but sometimes was known to cover the trail leading up to it - bless the riparian buffer! what lessons does it have to share? I am a guest and would love to know you better!

--- LYRICS ---
[Verse 1]
When I was twenty, the sky was wide and open, 
Dreams were stars I thought I'd hold in my hand. 
Love came softly, then left me broken, 
I learned the heart doesn’t always understand. 

[Pre-Chorus] 
Every smile, every tear had a story, 
I thought I’d lost, but I was finding me slowly. 

[Chorus] 
Time is a river that never stops flowing, 
It carves the soul while it keeps on going. 
Every scar, every kiss, every goodbye, 
Teaches you how to live, not why. 

[Verse 2] 
Friends came and faded like the seasons, 
Some stayed through the dark, some were gone by dawn. 
I asked the stars to tell me the reason, 
But silence was all they shone. 

[Pre-Chorus] 
I prayed to gods I didn’t know, 
Hoping one day truth would show.

[Chorus] 
Time is a river that never stops flowing, 
It carves the soul while it keeps on going. 
Every scar, every kiss, every goodbye, 
Teaches you how to live, not why…

[Bridge] 
Now silver lines my hair, but my eyes still wonder, 
Was the meaning hidden in the thunder? 
Was it love, or was it pain, 
That taught me most of what remains? 

[Verse 3] 
At seventy, I walk slower but see clearer, 
The world feels smaller, yet my heart feels nearer. 
To something vast, unseen, divine, 
Maybe the meaning was just the climb.

[Chorus] 
Time is a river that never stops flowing, 
It carves the soul while it keeps on going. 
Every life, every love, every goodbye, 
Leaves the question burning in the sky. 

[Outro] 
Ooh…
Ooh…
Ooh…
Ooh…
Ooh…
Ooh…
Ooh…

Gareth Lowe looks at the river of the Spirit in Ezekiel  47 asking:

How am I going to be sustained as a Christian until Jesus takes me home? 
How is God to transform me and the the hardest areas of the city?

The River of the Spirit | Gareth Lowe

An Irish slow air recorded once through on my phone in a practice session. A historical, political story from 1798. I’m playing on my Dad’s fiddle. The photo and river are from my walk home from work - I was feeling elemental today.

Sliabh na mBan (The Mountain of the Women)

In the velvet fog of a Greenwich Village basement, Bill Evans floated belly-up in the Warm Harmonic River of Her*in. It wasn't water, oh no—this was liquid eleventh chords, bubbling with suspended sevenths and rippling suspensions that resolved into eternal blue notes. "Plunk, plunk," went his piano keys, but really, it was the river plinking him, like a cosmic goldfish nibbling at his fingertips.

One day, a trout surfaced—Miles Davis, finned in muted trumpet scales. "Bill," he gurgled, "you're modulating into the abyss!" But Evans just smiled, his veins glowing like neon bass lines. He scooped a handful of the stuff and poured it into his Steinway, which promptly sprouted legs and tap-danced a waltz with Thelonious Monk's ghost.
Upstream, the river forked: one arm to Coltrane's Giant Steps, the other to Bird's bebop whirlpool. Evans chose both, diving headfirst. "Waltz for Debby?" he whispered as tentacles of tarry melody wrapped him tight. Fish with Scott LaFaro's face darted by, schooling in perfect fourths.

By dawn, the river evaporated into a single, absurd raindrop: Evans, piano and all, perched on a cloud, raining her*in harmonies onto the unsuspecting world below. "Plunk," it fell. And the city sighed in suspended delight.

On The Edge Of The River

[Verse 1]
I met myself by the edge of the river,
a ghost in a borrowed coat.
He said, “you carried too many faces,
you called them truth, you called them hope.”

The water shimmered like a memory,
the moon was a broken coin.
He whispered, “son, the pain you fear
was never meant to join.”

[Chorus]
On the edge of the river,
where time folds in two,
I found the child,
and the father too.
No sin, no crown,
just the silence between
the edge of the river,
where I’ve always been.

[Verse 2]
I saw my mother combing shadows,
her hands still smelling of rain.
My father carved his silence
into wood and into shame.

The city lights were burning slow,
like stars that lost their way.
I walked through glass and memory
and heard my own voice say:

[Chorus]
On the edge of the river,
where time folds in two,
I found the lost,
and the broken too.
No sin, no crown,
just the silence between
the edge of the river,
where I’ve always been.

[Bridge]
The dead don’t vanish, they just hum in the wires,
they live in your pulse, in your quiet desires.
Every tear, every word you’ve forgiven,
is a spark in the dark, still burning, still living.

[Chorus]
On the edge of the river,
I lay down my name,
a man made of echoes,
of loss and of flame.
No sin, no crown,
just the silence between 
the edge of the river,
where I’ve always been.

[Outro]
If you see me there,
don’t be afraid.
I’m the spark,
that never fades.

On The Edge Of The River

Inner Ganges flows through unseen realms, where the sacred river turns inward and sound becomes a form of prayer. It invites deep stillness and surrender, echoing through temples of the mind and currents of emotion. Drift, dissolve, and return.

💿 SOUND OF SELF - 'Sound of Self' by Ishk. is an introspective sonic journey: a blend of ambient textures, soulful synths, and meditative rhythm. It feels like listening to one’s own consciousness unfold, where every note breathes awareness, and silence speaks between sounds.

Note: In light of the recent AI breakthroughs, we feel it's important to clarify that we've been working with voice modulation since the mid-1990s – originally inspired by David Bowie's album Outside. Our approach predates AI-driven tools and is rooted in treating the voice as an instrument, shaped and sculpted through earlier technologies.

We fully understand that questioning authenticity may not be the intention – but it's worth remembering that all electronic music is, by nature, mediated and transformed. Even Nietzsche pointed out how modern tools shape us: inserting paper into a typewriter already creates a distance that handwriting does not. Perhaps birdsong is the only truly authentic sound. 🐦
