Evaluate

Blind Melon - Tones of Home

The Stone Roses - I am the Resurrection

Down in the dense trees where sunlight is scarce to a snow leopard hunting in heavy snowfall. "Planet Earth" is a must watch I say. I am a huge fan of David Attenborough. His views on nature and life in general is pure and authentic. ScienceDaily says our planet is home to more than 8 million species and counting. So much to explore and catalog.

If for a brief moment in our daily lives, we stop and attach to the present state of mind and negate all ill flowing thoughts, we may succeed in whatever small or big we set out to do. And yet, our existence is a mirage and our hands never reach out to what it says. As I write, I do feel embarrassed as to how hostile I am to existence. An unjust world will always be unjust. Things will not change.  Our experience softens and our expertise to get things done will sharpen. For it will guarantee my paycheck. 

When did we stop evaluating!! What shape does a crushed orange take? How dust settles into the soles of my shoes. How curtains move when I open the windows. The sound of keystrokes as I write this. 

The devilish screech of dark clouds

Watery leaves humming at night

To my ears which grows out loud

As empty roads curve under dim light

My heart strung out a deep note

To which you sang and it echoed

pleading the drops on the leaves to stay afloat

and blissful streams of water on empty roads flowed

As I continued to write our story

I traveled inside the flame of our night lamp

and pestered it to stay bright and fury

to not stress the eyes of my beloved

Everyday

kill the buzzing sound
fill it with echoes that I wish to return to

How is this maddening rush of the day blunting out the essential breath. We hold nothing. In our self, we are still brewing the buzzing sound.

Pink Floyd - Have A Cigar
Seven Mary Three - Water's Edge

A song shook my hands. You sit in the verandah. Your legs relaxed. Eyes set at a distant tree with yellow leaves. Mind drifting. A routine seeps inside. Discomfort strays outside in the garden begging to catch up with me. The chill control of the day and arrays of blur. In pretense, I sit still. Not moving. Not talking. The book grew old and how! Left unread, one after another. 

The bell is ringing

David Coverdale - Blindman

Coverdale/Page - the Entire album

Grand Funk Railroad - Inside looking out

Winter has come :-) And with it comes the fact that another cycle of a year will pass by. All events, personal and professional, has to be tagged and looked into. Will there be any sort of retrospection? Or just another year with an empty perspective? No looking back? 

Music will be another year + 1 ago. Will the value of creative content diminish ? Hell not. Hendrix, joplin, floyd, vedder will remain just as fresh as it was when first listened to. 

Looking out there, up there, down into. Everything kept moving. Doing its job just as we go about doing ours. 

A constant fire inside us to tell every distraction - go fuck off.

Touch the clouds. Empty exploration. The universe is after all empty right? Or is it not? Incoming boys! So much will pound us and remind how dusty our thoughts are. Bend people. Bend!! 

PinkFloyd - High hopes. That epic guitar. The essence of bending down to this solo and feeling small. Oh vow. That's my perspective :-) Small is good. Be small and observe. This is the ultimate pursuit of wisdom.

Deep Purple - Soldier of Fortune ( and the classic cover by Opeth )
Rainbow - The temple of the king
B B King - The Thrill is Gone

Diffused elements of nature. Hammered. Again. Fly. Freak. 

There is a sense of freedom. Bright and fury. Come get a hold of it. Never to miss.

I feel I am physically fit. Been playing a lot of football. The old glamour of running feels good. I wish to carry this on for as long as my body supports.

Win

We must struggle. Everything else is secondary. Find a way to win. Always. I will check this later again.

Yes, I can spare you a moment. And this feels right. The cosmos can wait. There is no hurry. 

From soul to soul

and the distance we threw away

time seemed just perfect

to be lost in the laughter

we seldom visit

Negative. Its all around

And we know we can see the positive

but shutting that out is easy

The easy way is always an easy choice

And then we call this choice an impulse!

Come on world, spare a moment

I know you wont stop spinning

In the sly glance of a bygone visit

You created everything

Coming back, how i knew this is it

and realize there is much to build

much to laugh about

See the positive

See the positive

To Philip Seymour Hoffman

Philip Seymour Hoffman. I have been following his movies since college. One of my fav actors. Watched each and everyone of his. Dialogue delivery is unmatchable. It seemed like a lightning bolt the moment I read the news.

Glen  hansard & The swell season; Hans Zimmer. What an artist!

Been reading a lot of Carl Sagan. An exceptional philosopher. One who practices what is preached.

Finish the day at 4. Climb up the hill. Breathe and absorb. The stuff we see. Quintessence. 

Happy New Year folks! Lets find and learn new things.
