Eva chose JOURNEY as our Music Theme for this week.
Next week the theme is to be HUNGER.
________________________________
A JOURNEY that has particular relevance, at this time of the year, as we in the Northern Hemisphere enter the tunnel of winter and darkness, is the JOURNEY all inhabitants of our beautiful Blue World make annually around our star in a spiral dance of the cosmic JOURNEY through space and time, beginning and ending in the same eternal moment as the JOURNEY of awareness, itself, the JOURNEY GYRE.
________________________________
In my own small sphere, I have to work to remind myself that the autumn and winter seasons are merely a time of transition, not the end. There is no end to this JOURNEY.
Persephone — Dead Can Dance — Lisa Gerrard
6min. 47sec.
_________________________________
Have you ever embarked upon a journey with a glorious destination that turns out to be fantasy? Nowhere are the expected riches or the results that were originally anticipated. Yet the journey itself was of such wonder and freedom that you are changed forever, finding the path followed, the JOURNEY, was all along, the destination.
EL DORADO — Sky World — 2 Steps From Hell
4min. 20sec.
El Dorado The Lost City Gold [FULL DOCUMENTARY …

Can it be that a life begun on the path of an emperor and ending as a laborer can be viewed as a successful JOURNEY? Are there influences on the direction of some lives that are beyond personal control? Does everyone get to choose the particular path that is to be followed?
LUNCH — The Last Emperor – Ryuichi Sakamoto, David Byrne and Cong Su
4min. 55sec.
__________________________________
Is it possible to travel a JOURNEY and not understand the words and descriptions that others use, to not be able to describe one’s experiences, and yet be able to understand internally the essence of what is learned while JOURNEYING in the unknowable?
Punagra, dina jine jane, Punagra de, Punagra, dina ji.
DEVA & PUNAGRA — Faun
6min. 19sec.
_____________________________________
Is it possible to sing the world into being? Can a JOURNEY be remembered from the Dreamtime, so that it will exist in the world today? A path is created before, and a path is left behind. However, JOURNEY paths are only temporary, existing while being traversed, until they are again recalled from the Dreamtime and sung into being and walked with song.
DREAMTIME* — Dawn of Time — Makara
6min. 01sec.
Makara = The Seven Sisters (Pleiades constellation)

___________________________________
Is it possible to change the path on which we JOURNEY by changing our selves? Is that internal change enough? What happens when a selfish life has been lived, and consequences are thought of only when encountering the last gate on life’s JOURNEY? Does it matter what influence current and past actions and attitudes have in the future, as we all die anyway? Do we have a responsibility for the consequences of what we do or omit to do?
THE FUTURE — Leonard Cohen
7min. 10sec.
____________________________________
Are destinations, conclusions, honors, awards, endings, triumphs, pinnacles, all that there is? Can these also become locked gates across the direction of one’s JOURNEY? Should one stop and turn to gaze only on what has already been accomplished? Is it possible to simply unlatch the gate and continue on, whether or not accolades and congratulations tie one to past goals? If one has no exact expectations of achievement, what qualities are required to pilgrimage on a path that is, itself, all there is? Are all lives a pilgrimage? Are all JOURNEYS a pilgrimage?
PEREGRINATIO — Irfan
5min. 14 sec.
____________________________________
Does our JOURNEY end with this life? Do we just travel on and on and on?
LESS IS MOI — the Goat Rodeo Sessions — Yo-Yo Ma, Stuart Duncan, Edgar Meyer and Chris Thile
7min. 28sec.
____________________________________
It seems that some JOURNEYS do not ever end, even as the pathway passes through the opened gates. Is this true for all of us? Do we create with each step, ripples of effect that never end?
DISCOVERY OF INDIA — GANDHI — Ravi Shankar
2min. 45sec.

Hi Bear.
You’ve gone to places I hadn’t quite expected. Hmm. Except for Cohen, I considered the same song–The Future. And Kundun.
I’ll be back. 🙂

Yes, Kundun would fit in your journey theme, quite well. Everyone has gone on amazing journeys to places unexpected. I’m glad you decided on this theme.

Hello Bear, another beautiful Journey shared, thank you! Your selections are always fresh and intriguing, sparks my imagination every time. I’ll be listening to your vids on my flight out, are you aware most international flights offer high speed internet onboard. Are we connected or what?!
Have a fabulous weekend dear. Oh how I love Mr. Cohen’s smokey voice♥

Everyone is doing the best they can. Some folk just cannot do more, it is beyond their capacity. They cannot even think bigger than their own wants. It is a disability. Sure am glad not everyone is like that.

Reblogged this on Ta hendene til din kjære – se på dem og hold dem hardt Disse hendene skal du følge, leie og lede. Du skal få føle på varmen fra dem og kjenne en inderlig glede. De skal stryke deg og de skal holde rundt deg – de er ikke skapt for å såre i vrede For du skal ikke alene mer vandre. De skal klemme og kose og aldri klandre De skal skjerme deg for det du ikke selv ser. De skal elske og aldri forakte – bare hjelpe når du ber. Disse hendene skal jobbe for at dere skal få det godt De skal gi – og du skal takke for det du har fått. De skal tvinnes sammen i kjærlighet og være ømme og gode og et tegn på inderlighet Hendene du holder er sterke og unge De skal gjennom mye for din skyld når dagene er tunge De skal stryke og klemme og være gode og fromme De skal ruske i ditt hår og takke når dagen er omme Disse hendene skal følge deg gjennom livet. De skal holde fast ved deg og verne om samlivet De skal være hos deg når alle andre har gått De skal aldri slippe men holde fast og tørke tårer når du har grått. Hendene skal bære din ring med rette Den skal skinne og for alle berette Jeg elsker deg! – kan den bekjenne Det er bare en som har maken til denne En dag er hendene blitt ru og grå Hver fure og rynke forteller om livet som bak dere lå Dere kan minnes den dagen i dag – da et livslangt bånd Ble knyttet Og fra denne dag dere gikk Hånd i hånd..
