Yesterday

A good day, a lot of learning spiritually and artistically. Spiritually, I began reading The Mother's Vision (Selections from Questions and Answers) and A Timeless Spring (by J. Krishnamurti). JK's thoughts on Varanasi are so beautifully expressed. Its inspiring to see this simplicity. It really helps connect. And get closer to the core... the hinterlands of the heart if I can call it that. Artistically, I downloaded a lot of music today. The new Depeche Mode "Sounds of the universe", the new Tori Amos "Abnormally attracted to sin", the new Harvey/Parish "A Woman, A Man walked by" and the new IAMX "Kingdom of welcome addiction". Also I began discovering the vast catalogue of Steve Reich and John Surman. There is so much out there. ECM is just fantastic.
