My Goal's Beyond

Morning Tree

Berlin, spring, 2010

This is my backyard retreat
This is the place where I listen to the birds singing,
where I watch the wind play with the green leaves of the majestic trees

Am I Experienced?

I am not.
But I'm gonna play this album from the first to the last guitar sound!

Muddy Waters, Folk Singer

A very important album for me



Waters plays acoustic guitar
Willie Dixon on string bass
Clifton James on drums
and Buddy Guy on acoustic guitar.

Ustad Zakir Hussain & Ustad Sultan Khan - Live

Fauré, Pavane

Rain,
Dark, infinite clouds.
Education. Spiritual Manners.
Crescent, Coltrane,
And dusk yields to peace of mind.

The Meaning of Life

"Смисълът на живота не седи само в това, да правим добрини. Някой казва: човек трябва да бъде добър. Главната задача в живота не седи в това, да бъде човек добър, но да изпълнява Волята Божия.”
Беинса Дуно

"The meaning of life is not only to do good. Some say: man must be good. The main task in life is not to be good, but to fulfill God's Will"
Beinsa Douno

Motivation

A japanese brain researcher has found that there is a zone in our brain that makes us feel motivated to do something.

"The only way to activate this brain zone is to give it some stimulus...meaning, even if you don't feel like doing something, you need to start doing it. Once you begin doing it, it will be stimulated, and will start to go into self-excitation mode - which will heighten your concentration and motivation."

Trilok Gurtu

Trilok is a true master of percussion. I had the chance to listen to a similar solo during his concert with Garbarek a couple of weeks ago.

from The Heritage

"Безсмъртието оживя в смъртта на смъртните, смъртта умря в живота на Безсмъртните; Безсмъртието в смъртта роди Свобода, във вода неудавена и от огън неизгорима! Ничие безсъзнание не ни прави безразсъдни, понеже ничия кражба не ни отнема Наследството; и ничия поквара не ни прави безмилостни, така както ничие безочие не ни прави слепи. Никой бог не ни убива, така както никое раждане не ни прави едноживотни; ничие безсмислие не ни прави земни, понеже никоя Земя не ни отнема звездите; и никоя беднотия не ни оставя гладни, така както никой залез не ни отнема Слънцето. Ето, ничия ярост не ни прави бездиханни, защото ничия сила не ни отнема Любовта!"

"Immortality has come to life in the death of the mortal, death died in the life of the Immortal; Immortality in death gave birth to Freedom, neither drowned in water nor burned in fire! No one’s unconsciousness makes us thoughtless for no one’s theft deprives us of our Heritage; and no one’s depravity makes us ruthless as well as no one’s impudence makes us blind. No god kills us as no birth makes us live only once; no one’s meaninglessness makes us earthly for no Earth takes the stars away; and no poverty leaves us hungry as no sunset takes the Sun away. Lo, no one’s fury makes us breathless for no one’s power can take Love away!"
