Think of You

Pipes of Pan

(Damh the Bard)

The idea for this song came about while I was driving across Dartmoor, and having to quickly avoid some of the local drivers. I began to wonder how long you had to live in a place before you stopped seeing the beauty that surrounded you. Before the journey stopped mattering, and the arrival was all that existed…

Can you hear the distant thunder?
Can you see the Moon in the sky?
I can see a full horizon, the Sun raising his eye.
Arms lifted to greet the dawn,
As fiery eyes of wisdom shine,
A father dead, a Son of Suns,
A tear wiped away with a smile.

(Chorus)
All of my life I have seen many offerings,
To the Gods and all the wonder that they hold.
But how many people really can, hear the pipes of Pan?
As they sound across our sacred land of old.

I can see a cloven hoof falling,
On the bare skin of the Earth.
I can see life returning, feel the triple One’s rebirth.
Golden light dapples across the woodland,
As the Piper dances and plays his tune.
Herne the Hunter, Horned One,
Spirit of Man to the Moon.

Can you hear the pipes of Pan
On the warm Summer breeze?
If you can, can you feel him deep within you
As he penetrates the land?
May blossom to the bee,
The nectar of love is on her skin.
Heat returns as passions rise
And Beltane’s dance begins, once again.

Pipes Of Pan from Herne's Apprentice

Wendell Berry reads a collection of his poems, included in the show "The Poetry of Creatures." 

How we see the world is how we value it, says Ellen Davis. And poetry is a way to rediscover the lost art of being creatures. An hour of learning and slowing down, with the "Mad Farmer" poems of Wendell Berry and a new way to take in the "poetry" of Genesis.

✨ NORDIC SOUL SYNDICATE – “NORTHERN ARABIC SUNDANCE”
Album Description

“Northern Arabic Sundance” föds där två världar möts – i korsningen mellan den arabiska öknens ändlösa värme och den norrländska vinternattens kalla ljus. Här flätar Nordic Soul Syndicate samman pulserande ökenrytmer, hypnotiska jazzlinjer och skandinavisk soulmystik till ett helt nytt sound: Öken-Jazz från Norrskenets Rike.

Under en turné genom sanddyner, nattmarknader och beduinläger lät NSS de arabiska harmonierna smälta samman med norrländsk melankoli. Resultatet är ett album som vibrerar av eld och is på samma gång — samtida, spirituellt och kompromisslöst futuristiskt.

Det är musik för sena decembernätter, där kylan knastrar utomhus medan sandens glöd värmer hjärtat. En resa genom mirage, norrsken, mjuka elgitarrer, djupt sväng och avant garde-jazz som dansar över både Sahara och Lappland.

Northern Arabic Sundance är inte ett album.
Det är ett landskap.
Ett ljus.
En vision.

This is the second in a series of four talks titled “The Mind, Mindfulness, & Me”.
Some good advice for us all is that in a heightened state of emotions, whether negative or so-called positive emotions, one should not speak, one should not make decisions, and one should not act, as it will invariably produce difficulty or suffering for myself and for others.

This is where mindfulness comes in.  I need to disengage, step away and calm down. Deep breathing, meditation, a walk outside all help here. Once I am on an even keel and calm, I should consider what is in my best interest long-term and what is in the other person(s) best interest and formulate a response.
If you ride the waves of emotion you will wipe out, whether immediately or later on.  This mindfulness practice of not giving in to highly emotional states and instead exercising control of the mind and emotions, is undoubtedly very challenging for us, but by gradual practice it is possible. And the outcome is brilliant. 

A couple of verses from the Bhagavad-gita advise us as follows:
Lord Śrī Kṛṣṇa said: O mighty-armed son of Kuntī, it is undoubtedly very difficult to curb the restless mind, but it is possible by suitable practice and by detachment. Bhagavad-gita 6.35
For one whose mind is unbridled, self-realization is difficult work. But he whose mind is controlled and who strives by appropriate means is assured of success. That is My opinion. Bhagavad-gita 6.36
