What are you listening to at the moment?
"Whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think about such things."

Holy mother of god!
Apart from the sound of my kids playing the modern equivalent of a slot-car game via x-box, I have been listening to a favourite of mine from years back:
To our children's children's children by The Moody Blues (1970)
and an acquisition from Auckland:
Eric Clapton and Steve Winwood live at Madison Square Garden (2008)

“No lists of things to be done. The day providential to itself. The hour. There is no later. This is later. All things of grace and beauty such that one holds them to one's heart have a common provenance in pain. Their birth in grief and ashes.”
- Cormac McCarthy, The Road
Learn this from the waters:
in mountain clefts and chasms,
loud gush the streamlets,
but great rivers flow silently.

In honor of MJ and the great message in the song.
Re: What are you listening to at the moment?
I am listening to the hum of the refridgerator, the computer fan, the phone ringing and the tippity-tappity of the keyboard...the wonders of modern technology.
Four types of letting go:
1) Giving; expecting nothing back in return
2) Throwing things away
3) Contentment; wanting to be here, not wanting to be anywhere else
4) "Teflon Mind"; having a mind which doesn't accumulate things
- Ajahn Brahm

>> Do you see a man wise [enlightened/ariya] in his own eyes? There is more hope for a fool than for him.<< -- Proverbs 26:12

The wind in the tree tops.
But whoever walking, standing, sitting, or lying down overcomes thought, delighting in the stilling of thought: he's capable, a monk like this, of touching superlative self-awakening. § 110. {Iti 4.11; Iti 115}

He who knows only his own side of the case knows little of that. His reasons may be good, and no one may have been able to refute them.
But if he is equally unable to refute the reasons on the opposite side, if he does not so much as know what they are, he has no ground for preferring either opinion …
...
He must be able to hear them from persons who actually believe them … he must know them in their most plausible and persuasive form.

Re: What are you listening to at the moment?
When a person posts a video at youtube they have the opportunity to make it upload only on youtube and not available for embedding on other sites. Only a small percentage do that. You may be able to find someone else who uploaded the same video who did not put that stipulation.retrofuturist wrote:Which one wasn't working for you?

Rain soddens what is kept wrapped up,
But never soddens what is open;
Uncover, then, what is concealed,
Lest it be soddened by the rain.

Ting tings, petshop boys and Le Roux
the embedding is disabled on these I didn't listen to the first two on my list here as I knew the songs but Le Roux was the one I was refering to.
