Shades (aSongforCon) #6

“Even when a river of tears courses through this body, the flame of love cannot be quenched.” – Izumi Shikibu

“On the journey of the warrior-bodhisattva, the path goes down, not up, as if the mountain pointed toward the earth instead of the sky.

Instead of transcending the suffering of all creatures, the warrior moves toward turbulence and doubt however they can. They explore the reality and unpredictability of insecurity and pain, and embrace it. If it takes years, if it takes lifetimes, the warrior lets it be as it is.

At the bottom we discover water, the healing water of bodhichitta.

Bodhichitta is our heart—our wounded, softened heart. Right down there in the thick of things, we discover the love that will not die. This love is bodhichitta”. – Pema Chodron

EVERY August 30th-Sep 24th you can find me throwing down on themusicologist in memory of my daughter, (Until we meet again ConZu x)

Losing a loved one is hard, losing a child is almost unbearable.

In my experience all of the ‘basic emotions’ are involved;

Fear, Anger/Rage, Sadness/Grief, Joy, Disgust, Surprise, Trust, Love, Envy.

This imperious 2017 cut from the mighty Simon ‘Bonobo’ Green shines a light on the darkness in my soul and helps to soothe the savage beast. For ALL the children we have loved and lost……may you ALL rest in peace and find your ‘way’ through.

AHYMNFORCON #35

10:40am September 24/2014.

With a heavy, broken heart and intense struggle I managed these final words as I watched my beautiful 19 year old daughter slip away…with this song playing in my soul.

John Coltrane – Part 4 – PSALM

“In YOUR light I learn how to love,

In your beauty how to make poems,

You dance inside my chest where no-one sees you

but sometimes I do and THAT sight becomes this art”

Today is the final day of my ’30 Day’ musicologyMass and tribute to Constance.

ALWAYS in my heart, soul and thoughts kohzu..with eternal love Dadzu x

Until we meet again x x

#0725 the Gaylads – Joy In The Morning

aHymnForCon #31

“Some of you say, “Joy is greater than sorrow,” and others say, “Nay, sorrow is the greater.”
But I say unto you, they are inseparable.
Together they come, and when one sits alone with you at your board, remember that the other is asleep upon your bed.” ― Kahlil Gibran

無常 mujō

“Let not thy heart cling to the things which for so short a time deck out thy life. Let them who have, learn to lose, and they who are happy, familiarise themselves with what may give pain.” Schiller
