Thank goodness for this break from oppressive heat and humidity.
Autumn is a beautiful pause AND passage before deep dives within, to learn and bathe in the nature of reality
Apart, or better said: beneath, like a cavernous river flowing under bedrock, emanating the primordial sound,
Away from the tumult of surface life even while walking in its midst.
The equinox occurs at the same moment worldwide.

Thank you, Penelope.
Traveling far afield in this Earth Day post...
There was a news story on NPR today about the age of psychedelic rock in 60s and 70s Cambodia, much of which had been lost until the movies, Golden Slumbers and Don't Think I've Forgotten revived interest and some of the missing resources.
I like this video clip from the former of the two films because it shows off people and places carrying on current life as usual with wonderfully steady pan shots.
The song is called, Yol Aularong or Don't Be Upset.
I'm always happy to discover something with heart.

Happy Birthday to all the loving souls out there.
I spent mine with my beloved and a sweet sister and young nephew.
We had Indian food on a picnic sheet on the living room floor, and then watched the ever amazing Romeo + Juliet, Baz style.
So much a'stir now with tragedy brain waves that make me sentimental for life - too precious.
Momentous and prematurely decisive at both wrong and right moments.
Language of William Shakespeare, another Baldr April child.
The seasons of life relived, and I am ever so grateful.
Topping it off with music from the soundtrack of 'The Only Lovers Left Alive.'
What is this beauty, and why does it hold hands, walking down Tragedy Lane?
A birthday to remember for me.

So soothing, the year of the cat.
And what year isn't?
I always imagined myself having cats til my dying day. Maybe that will still happen, but it's hard to imagine jumping right back into it after this particular specimen. Don't get me wrong; I love her muchly. Two things though:
I love time lapse photography effects so much, I'll have to learn to do it 'someday.'
Cycles and rhythms, inhalation and exhalation.
~*~*~*~
Stream of consciousness led me to this piece of music from "The Lord of the Rings" featuring flute middle and end. I was originally thinking of the piece, 'Evenstar,' as she was a queen, but I didn't find the 'quiet' visuals I wanted to go with it. I searched, but no dice this time.
I read an article about retirement and house size recently. If we don't use our houses primarily as a storage unit (a significant issue from where I sit and look about this morning), there are many new and interesting options for downsizing to something a bit smaller and more affordable. Calculations show that it can be one of the more influential decisions to meet retirement goals. And off my mind goes, a'wanderin'.
Recently there was an article and pictures of clever 'hobbit hole' type housing, and now this one to meet the demand for influx of people to Western Canada in these and coming years. Skim the pictures or read the informative article if you have extra time. Seem doable? Happy 021212.http://smallhouselife.com/3412/the-laneway-small-house-phenomenon-in-vancouver
Happy Thanksgiving to all celebrants.
I found this worth the nine minutes of my day. Peaceful, gentle feast of time-lapse reminders.
Potential mind shift, useful for coming up with notions of goodness in life. Gratitude knows no borders.
How beautiful...
The earth, she sings.
For us?
And for which other things?
Music has power.
People have power.
Step 1: Find the priority
Step 2: Find the people
Step 3: When what you hope is for the good of all,
Can be hard for say 1% to see through isolation + fear;
When it coincides with the Golden Rule;
It's time for Step 4: Stand in Solidarity with the wise
In whatever way you can.
Let them know you care as well.
Add your voice to theirs as best you can or start speaking yourself
Articulate what's most important to you. So much is going on right now.
The see saw goes up and down.
Forces of fact, math, humanity, and mutual support
Compassion.
What is necessary is the gracious mother of ideas
And newborn or repurposed solutions.
May all be well.
May all be happy.
May all be conscious and clear,
By way of love and courage.
Occupy Wall Street.
Occupy - to fill with content and energy.
What does it mean to you?
More and more are answering that question for themselves.
Makes me proud; and then it makes me proud some more.
Cognition, critical thinking, love.
May we bring back democracy from its first moment:
The great experiment
Possibility + Passion = Potential Perspective.
To all the ways one might misinterpret this song with its
Story of violence engendered by fear...
Let it not be so. No 'eye for an eye til all the world is blind.'
The route to hull integrity is inscribed on on all our hearts.
If you can't spot its location; listen til you see.
No instructions given at the start.
They come as you go
On your own particular route.
Wishing everyone smooth sailing and good memory.

Playing with words when it's time for sleep.
These in particular have been rolling around in my brain a few times over the last couple of days.
Time to put them to rest.
Maybe then I can get some as well. *~*~*~*
"A beautiful day, the drive into Pennsylvania from Jersey had been surprisingly stress-free. An open road stretched before us, maybe all the way up into the mountains if we were fortunate.
Danger Mouse again!
This time with James Mercer of the once and current Shins as Broken Bells, which is also the name of their first album together.
'Vaporize' is the second song on the album, and so far, my favorite. Love all the change-ups and the lyrics as well... a wee reminder set to song. I'll put them here:
Vaporize Lyrics by Broken Bells
What amounts to a dream anymore?
A crude device; A veil on our eyes
A simple plan we'd be different from the rest
And never resign to a typical life
Common fears start to multiply
We realize we're paralyzed
Where'd it go, All that precious time?
Did we even try to stem the tide?
Why should we waste it on
Buying into the same old lies?
The longer we wait around
The faster the years go by
It's not too late
To feel a little more alive
Make an escape
Before we start to vaporize Doubtless, we've been through this
So if you want to follow me you should know
I was lost then and I am lost now
And I doubt I'll ever know which way to gofrom magmp3.com, the pic above

Together they work to build a liquid structure, drop and mortar, drop again.
I hear them through every window and the walls of the house too.
Their dedication rewarded with transient transformation.
Small sea and sky sisters separate no more.
Seeing it through no matter what
Courage in the face of life's All
Immediate and enduring generosity
Happy Mother's Day.
Two songs referencing England that take my mind wandering.
I confess to being a long-standing Anglophile.
The nation and its history evoke for me compassion and sympathy first...
Before the balancing side of the coin pops up to say, "Me too."
And it comes back around to melancholy, so I get these songs that could be about a place called Laraby instead.
Basanth
In Pakistan, boys celebrate the first day of spring in the Muslim calendar with exciting kite-fighting contests. After putting powdered glass on their strings, they use the strings to try to cut off each other's kites. Whoever keeps his kite the longest wins.
Holi
For this Hindu spring festival, people dress in green. Children then squirt each other with water pistols filled with yellow- or red-colored liquid. They also blow colored powder on each other through bamboo pipes. Everyone gets soaked — and colorful — to celebrate spring.
Songkran
In Thailand, a special three-day water festival on April 13-15 marks Songkran, the Buddhists' celebration of the new year. Parades feature huge statues of Buddha that spray water on passersby. In small villages, young people throw water at each other for fun. People also release fish into rivers as an act of kindness.
Aboakyere
The Effutu people of Ghana make a special offer to the god Panche Otu each spring with the deer-hunting festival. Two teams of men and boys, dressed in bright costumes, compete to be the first to bring back a live deer to present to the chief. Then they all dance together.
Easter
On Easter, Christians celebrate the resurrection of Jesus Christ. People attend church and also enjoy different Easter customs. In Germany, people make "egg trees" that are decorated like Christmas trees. In Hungary, boys sprinkle girls with perfumed water — and in return, girls prepare a holiday dinner for them.
Passover
The highlight of this major Jewish holiday is the Passover seder. During these two special dinners, families read from a book called the Haggadah about the ancient Israelites' exodus, or flight, from Egypt more than 3,000 years ago. As they honor their ancestors, Jews reaffirm the importance of freedom.
May Day
To celebrate the return of spring, children in England dance around tall poles decorated with ribbons, called maypoles. Their dancing wraps the ribbons tightly around the pole.
