Becalmed— At Principle Gallery
Do you imagine the universe is agitated? Go into the desert at night and look out at the stars. This practice should answer the question….. The master settles her mind as the universe settles the stars in the sky. By connecting her mind with the subtle origin, she calms it. Once calmed, it naturally expands, and ultimately her mind becomes as vast and immeasurable as the night sky.
–Lao Tzu, 6th Century BC
Enough said this morning.
Here’s the great k.d. lang with the song Western Stars from her album, Shadowland. Some albums are made to be listened to in the dark, where they create new space, in which there is nothing to distract from the lushness of the sound and the beauty of the songwriting. This is one of those. Great, great album. And a perfect performance of this Chris Isaak song.
