Laughing Brook: Poetry for Sensual Consciousness

Wo entspringt die Kreativität? Sie kommt aus dem anstrengungslosen Raum der Gelassenheit, der übrigens keineswegs passiv ist. Ein bisschen wie das Wasser, das frei fließt und doch unglaublich viel bewirken kann.  Diesmal werfen wir einen Blick auf diesen scheinbar leichten, leeren Raum, der im Dazwischen liegt. Kapitel: 00:00:00 Intro 00:00:26 Wie das Wasser – Solo 00:01:51 Im Dazwischen liegt die Freiheit 00:08:14 Wie das Wasser (Remix) 00:11:52 Outro Vielen Dank an Nico für den Input bei der Aufnahme des Remix’, und für die wunderbare Begleitung auf der Ngoni.

A paradox is often pointed out, seemingly as a proof that a certain statement or a thing cannot right or correct. Yet as one ventures down the road of life and looks at what we call reality, paradoxes keep coming along. If I bother to be bothered by paradoxes, they can lead me into uncomfortable places where what I know seems to be contradicted – a humbling and unsettling moment. Beyond this feeling of unease, though, lies something which is larger than the world I came from. It’s a bit like going into the pitch black dark of a cave. Who knows what secret is waiting there for me… Chapters: 00:00:00 Intro 00:00:26 The Cave – Solo 00:02:43 The Face of the Deep holds a Secret 00:09:36 The Cave (Remix) 00:13:37 Outro Shownotes, a transcript of this episode and more at laughingbrook.net.

We do the things we do because we are where are. Over the course of my life I have learned a lot about seeing myself and life differently. That has lead me into greater personal freedom. The path, though, is long and there is still so much more to learn. For all the things I know and others don’t (just like I didn’t know, not too long ago), it’s easy to get proud and insolent. Yet there is also a choice to become compassionate; an interesting term that literally means „to suffer with someone“. In doing so, I expand myself into the up and the below. But, ah, why make it so complicated. It’s just a fly!

Oh my, the power of falling in love! It all starts with seeing something in this significant other, may it be a lover or landscape, a song or sight. All of a sudden my eyes are being opened and the character of this other touches me. This is where stories begin, this is what makes the world turn round. Chapters: 00:00:00 Intro 00:00:26 The Pearl – Solo 00:04:33 To see it makes it be it 00:13:08 The Pearl (Remix) 00:18:42 Outro Show notes, a transcript of this episode and more at laughingbrook.net.

There is a curious thing: When I hold life very tightly, everything becomes a rather tiresome and exhausting affair. When on the other hand I hold things loosely, I may discover that things seem to come to me without me really doing a lot. This doesn’t mean I’m passive.  The way to this direction leads through most unlikely doors of which death is an essential one. The tiny deaths we have to die in our life, and sometimes ugly big ones, allow us to prepare. Facing death brings a most remarkable insight.
