Music is always one way people can speak when they arenât allowed to express themselves otherwise. And Piazzollaâs tangos have the great strength of true voiceâŚ. Piazzollaâs music is endlessly passionateâfull of yearningâand at the same time tremendously contemporary. Thereâs a quote to the effect that Piazzolla is the Ellington of Argentina, and in a way itâs true. He actually took the tango to another level by inhabiting his music. The music grew in him, and he adeptly incorporated the influences of his surroundingsâwhether from New York, Paris, or Buenos Aires. During the almost forty years he worked on his music, Astor Piazzolla tried many different variationsâeven tried an electronic ensemble! Because of this experimentation, and also his ingenuity, focus, and hard work, his music has many levels of expression and a tremendous depth. His is a truly successful synthesis of the tango and the contemporary. â Yo Yo Ma
It is madness to harass the mind, as some have done, with attempts to measure the world, and to publish these attempts or, like others, to argue from what they have made out, that there are innumerable other worlds, and that we must believe there to be so many other natures, or that, if only one nature produced the whole, there Tvill be so many suns and so many moons, and that each of them will have immense trains of other heavenly bodies. As if the same question would not recur at every step of our inquiry, anxious as we must be to arrive at some termination ; or, as if this infinity, which we ascribe to nature, the former of all things, cannot be more easily comprehended by one single formation, especially wlien that is so extensive. It is madness, perfect madness, to go out of this world and to search for what is beyond it, as if one who is ignorant of his own dimensions could ascertain the measure of any thing else, or as if the human mind could see what the world itself cannot contain.
Pliny the Elder (Translation from Latin original) 77â79 A.D.

Bach - Cello Suite no.2 in d minor, BWV 1008
Again, my mind likes to associate music with moods and atmosphere, and even though winter can get gloomy, I love how easy it is to pair with cheery or with darker music. Here, one of Bachâs cello suites, has a hint of melancholy that goes well with the barren trees and the light snow on the ground, and it isnât an over the top kind of sentimentality, it feels very sincere and moderate. The key is a tragic one, and was often used to emphasis a sense of loss [think of the chaconne from the d minor violin partita], and the prelude opens with a hint of sadness, and the writing feels as natural and âorganicâ [pardon the pun] that we hear in his organ fantasias. The allemande is a bit âlighterâ in that it feels more like the French court dance of its name, and again I imagine being inside on a winder evening, candle light, maybe light dancing in a dim room of paintings. The courante livens this mood up even more by being pretty quick and charming. But then we go into the sarabande which takes us into the more saddened atmosphere that the prelude opened with. Despite being a âhorizontalâ instrument, the sarabande has very beautiful chord progressions. The next movement is two minuets, the first one is kind of bouncy, and when repeated a new melody is embellished over the chords, like you would expect from baroque improvisation. The second minuet is more content, a fun little melody over a pronounced rhythm. The gigue takes the piece to a lively and somewhat polyphonic ending.
Movements:
1. Prelude
2. Allemande
3. Courante
4. Sarabande
5. Menuetts 1&2
6. Gigue
SOME writers have so confounded society with government, as to leave little or no distinction between them; whereas they are not only different, but have different origins. - Society is produced by our wants, and government by our wickedness; the former promotes our happiness positively by uniting our affections, the latter negatively by restraining our vices. The one encourages intercourse, the other creates distinctions. The first is a patron, the last a punisher. - Society in every state is a blessing, but government even in its best state is but a necessary evil; in its worst state an intolerable one; for when we suffer, or are exposed to the same miseries by a government, which we might expect in a country without government, our calamity is heightened by reflecting that we furnish the means by which we suffer. - Government, like dress, is the badge of lost innocence; the palaces of kings are built on the ruins of the bowers of paradise. For were the impulses of conscience clear, uniform, and irresistibly obeyed, man would need no other lawgiver; but that not being the case, he finds it necessary to surrender up a part of his property to furnish means for the protection of the rest; and this he is induced to do by the same prudence which in every other case advises him out of two evils to choose the least.
Thomas Paine
Neighbors Smoke on an Apartment Porch Owned by a Mental Health Agency
BY SHERYL LUNA Dazed with rambling gossip, their looming net of mistakes, - their love of rumor, they all dream arousal. They are far from indifferent. - Their language bellows need. - A gull darts over and behind bare buildings, shaggy forests, mountains, city streets. Trees lose leaves, and one - man insists the leaves arenât dying after collecting outdated food at church, - upswing in full euphoric force, heâs certain heâs spreading world peace. - Men at work lumber to dumpsters. Oaks yellow. Rocks trap leaves. - Jehovahâs Witnesses mouthed salvation. Janice listened wishful, - but today she relays her own bitter story: lazy sister-in-law fat on a couch, - quarter-sized bedsores on her ass, brother-in-law blind, stumbling drunk. - Hearts rigid and numb, neighbors forget crepe myrtle blooming pink. - Impermanent and frenetic worry hums. Eyes grow glaucoma blue. Sucking - cigarettes and mumbling, they stand hardy as an autumn dayâs geraniums, hard before winter.

Are you moving into a higher vibration/frequency
Do you notice or even feel frustrated because the supplements, medicines, diets, and modalities that seem to work for other people donât work for you? Do you do what most would consider âall the right thingsâ for your health and spirit and still feel that you are not functioning optimally? Do your energies, moods, and immune system feel like they need a boost even when you take extra time for âself-care?âÂ
If you answered âyesâ to the previous questions, there is a very good chance that you are part of the 1% of the population that is genetically of higher frequency. People of higher frequency tend to be described as âhypersensitive,â empathic, intuitive, creative, sometimes perfectionistic, and (wonderfully!) complex. Despite finding that other people are drawn to them, higher frequency individuals often feel alone in this world because they comprise so little of the population. However, they continue to move forward with their lives in a unique, heart-centered way. They live almost strategically in different parts of the globe as âlight workers,â here to carry out their important mission or âCosmic Call to Action,â which is to help our species and planet survive and thrive as a more consciously awakened world.Â
As a result, higher frequency people usually share many of the following attributes during this human experience:
1. A desire to find, confirm, or capture the essence of their true spiritual âhome,â partner, family, and/or community.
2. A feeling that entities or angels are around them. They may even see or hear those entities on occasion.
3. A feeling that they arenât achieving the success, relationships, and happiness they desireâdespite having outstanding skills, capacities, and intelligence.
4. Changes in moods, emotions, and energy levels that appear to reflect the people or planet around them, as much if not more than their own condition.
5. Moments of feeling more âawakenedâ or conscious, but finding those times short-lived or unsustainable in 3D daily life.
6. Vivid dreams, and even moving, speaking, or acting out while asleep.
7. Periods of intense âsheddingâ of relationships, responsibilities, or priorities.
8. A feeling that time is moving much faster or even âgetting lostâ during regular activities.
9. Enhanced awareness of synchronicities and believing that there are no âcoincidencesâ or âaccidents.â
If you are of higher frequency, you likely also share a number of the following beliefs, perspectives, and ideologies:
1. âService to Othersâ is your mantra or motto, which helps dictate the decisions that you make and all that you are and do. You know that what you do to and for others will affect you and your loved ones sooner or laterâbecause we are all connected by frequencies, energy, our planet, and karma.
2. You see our earth and the human experience as a smaller part of a bigger picture. You feel almost like we humans are the experiment, playground, or âschoolâ for spirits, entities, or forces from other dimensions, including some of your own soulâs energy source.
3. You understand that it usually takes dire situations to open peopleâs minds. You so want to be genuine in your interactions with others in your daily life, but feel more like you have to be a metaphysical âClark Kentâ and keep your Superman thoughts and talents in your back pocket. You find that itâs not until you come to the rescue of others in dire straits that they can look past your more spiritual cape and approaches. They are finally more open and just grateful to be helped.
4. You believe that happiness may or may not be the goal of this incarnation, but that living a life that is consistent with your purpose will produce all of the fulfillment you could ever want. Itâs not about imitating what others call a âsuccessful life.â Itâs about feeling like you are on your OWN best path to your destiny.
5. You believe that your destiny is set and is great, but that free will and frequency can and will change the timing, ease, and efficiency of fulfilling that destiny. Consequently, you look to strengthen your frequencies and awareness level more than most.
6. You follow your heart, recognizing what science has finally proven. The heart senses and reacts to an event before it ever happens and even before the brain can process it. The heart really knows best, and first.
7. You donât like that money is the focus and basis of our current world. You prefer to see people for how they are and what they feel, and not for what they have or whom they know. You prefer to exchange services and talents rather than money. For you, sharing your art, time, and expertise tends to reflect more of whatâs in the heart than any other currency ever could.
8. You love and honor our planet and the natural universe. You feel the pains physically and emotionally when Mother Earth is ailing or rumbling. You may also feel the pull or mental and physical disruption during events like the moonâs cycles, solar flares, planetary alignment, etc. It sickens you that humans have prioritized greed rather than sustainability and kindness to the living things around us.
9. You recognize that each person has a different part in our global community. Regardless of rank, role, or training, each person is valued and crucial to the greater picture. The student is as important to the teacher as the teacher is to the student, as are the construction crews that build their school and the maintenance crews that keep it beautiful.
If the qualities and tendencies mentioned above resonate with you, then you probably have lots of experiences being and/or surrounded by a higher frequency person. It may not come as a surprise thatâbecause of all of the energies that higher frequency people take in and take on from the world around themâthey are quite prone to: food and environmental allergies; thyroid issues and adrenal fatigue; inflammation leading to digestive and/or joint issues; depression, addictions, or extreme highs and lows in mood; and intense relationships to sexual activity, body image, and/or exercise. Most higher frequency individuals feel the need to regroup or refresh by being alone and away from the energies of other people; by spending time in water or nature; by engaging in sports or physical activity; and/or by getting lost in music, dance, or other forms of expressive artâall to help rid themselves of the frequencies they take in, as well as to help rebalance their own energy systems.Â
While being a super-charged human has its challenges, lessons, and contrasts, you contain the Divine fabric, energies, and soul that represent the next steps for our human species. Because 3D life as a higher frequency person is complicated, it is neither helpful nor expected for you to live in perpetual bliss, nor to isolate instead of participate in this world. Any discomfort and confusion you experience pave the way for your sincerity and ingenuity; your resilience inspires others; and your tenacity is the hope for our future. Most importantly, by living a life that resonates with you, you move others to transform in positive and profound ways too. Although you may not always receive the applause, recognition, or gratitude that you deserve from others, as with most pioneers, your trials, tribulations, and triumphs are pivotal, and will be appreciated for generations to come.
âMeditation is not something restricted to times of formal seated meditation; it is most fundamentally an attitude of being - a resting in and as being. Once you get the feel of it, you will be able to tune into it more and more often during your daily life. Eventually, in the state of liberation, meditation will simply become your natural condition.â
â Adyashanti
â Ilya Kaminsky, âWe Lived Happily During the Warâ
One has no right to love or hate anything if one has not acquired a thorough knowledge of its nature. Great love springs from great knowledge of the beloved object, and if you know it but little you will be able to love it only a little or not at all.
Leonardo Da Vinci

At 19, I read a sentence that re-terraformed my head: âThe level of matter in the universe has been constant since the Big Bang.â In all the aeons we have lost nothing, we have gained nothing - not a speck, not a grain, not a breath. The universe is simply a sealed, twisting kaleidoscope that has reordered itself a trillion trillion trillion times over. Each baby, then, is a unique collision - a cocktail, a remix - of all that has come before: made from molecules of Napoleon and stardust and comets and whale tooth; colloidal mercury and Cleopatraâs breath: and with the same darkness that is between the stars between, and inside, our own atoms. When you know this, you suddenly see the crowded top deck of the bus, in the rain, as a miracle: this collection of people is by way of a starburst constellation. Families are bright, irregular-shaped nebulae. Finding a person you love is like galaxies colliding. We are all peculiar, unrepeatable, perambulating micro-universes - we have never been before and we will never be again.
