the essential experiences:
blueberries, forgotten corners of rooms, dust in sunbeams, liminal states, sleepless
nights, sitting still, insight
meditation, breathing, the smell of wet earth in a dark forest, forgetting
any concept of culture, remembering before i was born, thinking about existence
without humans, old and overlooked places...

the paradoxical human and media sources:
soundtracks of tarkowsky and jodorowsky that each in their own way 'seeded'
my will to create, that elusive feeling of a good song (such as from bert jansch,
clive palmer, anne briggs, roy harper, sandy denny, simon finn, vashti bunyan,
scott walker, and so many others), the more 'stoned' minimalists, music that
CREATES experiences, watching black and white movie on a small old tv late at
night, long conversations after coincidental meetings, the sounds of a scratchy
radio in remote places...

Items of contemplation:
see my blog for Adi Shankarachya and some small view at Shri
Nisgardatta Maharaj - for more info see: www.advaita.org
trying to conceive of how I might get back to the GURUKUL school I was accepted
in see: dhrupad.org - and digesting
the 10 days I spent with the Gundecha Brothers and the other resident students
- a whole new ear at harmonic rations is growing...
where can one end up in
this world - when one is living in the in-between - perhaps i stop looking?
