Another masterpiece from 1973

I never realized Edgar played the sax and timbales too... damn!

Oh my, SLYl

I googled “things called steve” and… https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steve_(atmospheric_phenomenon) From Nature, “ …Steve’s distinctly different shape and behaviour suggests that his origins lie in some unusual chemistry involving very hot ionised gas.” My family would agree ^ | Steve on carryout night

@el_tortugo @Miffymog You should both now have access.

I think it was called gangsa, it’s been a long time. Golden Rain is a very cool piece!

Thank you @Trunk I appreciate you taking steps you feel are in the best interest of this community and the community at large. That’s all anyone can ask.

Obsessive use of meditative disciplines or perennial study of scripture and philosophy will never bring forth this wonderful realization; This truth which is natural to awareness, because the mind that desperately desires to reach another realm or level of experience inadvertently ignores the basic light that constitutes all experience. ~ Tilopa

I played in a Balinese gamelan angklung in college. Got to play at the Indonesian embassy in DC. Fantastic experience!

I remember when I first was active here, back in the good old days, people were often lamenting how good things used to be here back in the good old days. The good days are now! We are all here. Hopefully we are reasonably healthy. We’re smart as hell and funny. Let’s make the most of our time together. FUCK RON JEREMY! 😁

@Uncle Fester Your wish has come true.

@questionmark Voila!

In Dzogchen one learns to become responsible for oneself without following rules. A person who follows rules is like a blind person who needs someone to guide them in order to be able to walk. For this reason it is said that a Dzogchen practitioner must open his or her eyes to discover their condition, so that they will no longer be dependent on anyone or anything. ~ Chögyal Namkhai Norbu

@virtue I just noticed this and will take care of it

My condolences for your losses @Yueya. I am also deeply grateful to have connected with you here.

From an exhibit of paintings by Shonto Begay at the Wheelwright museum in Santa Fe. Hard to fully appreciate without seeing up close. There are a spirit and musicality in his paintings that are striking.

Happy Birthday!
