What a beautiful recording Sound Healing is. It's made my day on this typically overcast morning here on the east coast of Ireland. At least it's dry, for the moment.
I don't read newspapers but I do glance at one of the weekend magazines, where I found this interesting snippet in an article about clouds. I reproduce it here verbatim:
"Asperitas: A bumpy-looking cloud that appears after a thunderstorm. Only added to the International Cloud Atlas in 2017, it is officially the world's newest formation."
I can't also reproduce the accompanying photo unfortunately. But it looks like the sky outside my window right now - and it's a long time since we had a thunderstorm around these parts!
Although a mainstream newspaper is unlikely to acknowledge the existence of weather manipulation by nefarious sources, this all but reveals the truth about our current climate. It reminds me of those commentaries about the increase in myocarditis among young people, which never mention the role the jab might have played.
I believe those us of enduring this unseasonal weather have an ace up our sleeves that could yet undo these blatant attempts to discourage and demoralise. We can try to communicate our empathy to those rain spirits who feel compelled to co-operate with this nonsense.
So if it's raining or even overcast, go out for a walk and a splash if necessary. Some gritty defiance is what they need to see!
That is very interesting about those untoward clouds. The skies are very strange these days. I've a workshop running in Kilmacanogue with Mark O'Sullivan, homaeopath, really clued into the weather changes and how to remedy with plasterite and other things. You might be interested. 31st July and 1st August. I believe speaking to the rain spirits and sun gods are the way to go. If we can collectively communicate. Yes sometimes I jumpt in the sea anyway.
My heart goes out to the Tibetan people. I have personal experience with being driven off one's own place, and while I would never compare what I have faced with their ordeal, it gives me a sense, a small sense of their experience.
Fortunately, we are wedded to music as well.
This latest piece of yours is very rich, a journey that touches on something deep and vital.
. sorry to hear you have such an experience. TIbetans have it very tough. Yungchen embodies that land in her voice. Yes I wish i could find solace in clouds but weirdly I have not liked Irish weather since I was very young. I will befriend Lugh, I think he is wonderful. I love the way you put it -mankind is wedded to pain. But we have art and music to alleviate our suffering. That's why political rants do nothing for me.
I suppose if politics actually served something useful, the world would be a different place. Honestly, politics as they are served up these days do nothing to improve conditions at all, certainly not for the Tibetans, and certainly not for me.
I have lost almost all interest in the political process. It seems as though continuing to give it attention is all it really wants, just more pointless display.
Huge existential shrug.
I do find that it is possible, even an open condition to meet and commune with ancient Gods. Doubtless its different for each of us, begining with authenticity. For myself, personally, I find this communion highly instructive, essentially real.
The value of an extended reality, one that recognizes activity beyond the greed worn grasp of the modern world is for me, a great reward.
All I've done since I was a kid is wander in forests and places looking for who's really there. I get incredibly bored of humans and monotheistic religion never made any sense to me. India was heaven with its myriad temples and naga offerings in the villages and Tibetan buddhism was my path for over 20 years, which has a big crossover with Hinduism though they don't admit it.
I do believe that at heart we are ethereal beings, and that some of us have wandered in Faerie, and without understanding how, we collected our geas there, and upon our return to this heavy place it is as if we assumed an unwanted weight, and thus we wander the paths less driven, urged on by the thirst no beverage can slacken, to traverse this place forlorn.
Me too. Sometimes it is a curious adventure, other times wandering forlorn. Its a mystery to me how I ended up here. It feels very heavy in the last few years…
I really feel your SADness Siofra, as it comes through so strongly in your writing, from a deep well of sorts. But you're right, we have to dwell on the joyful things that bring us happiness; music, myth, stories and nature. And sunflowers, lots of them! I'm moving to SW France as soon as I can, just to be amongst the endless fields of them.
Bollocks to all those powers that were, they are on their way out; too many of us know their plans and the answer is NO.
HI INgrid, Don't worry I'm not that sad but the weather here IS dire. However it has always been. I would like to move to SW France too! Keep me posted. I LOVE Poitiers. And Carcassonne. I'm interested in North Portugal too. And of course Italy. I can't live in this grey place for the rest of my life. Is Cyprus just too hot for you?
I'm glad you're not too sad Siofra and you have lots of interesting places to visit and things to do.
Yes, Cyprus is just too darned hot for too long. It's boring as I'm active and all you can do apart from sunrise and sunset is sit in the pool and throw balls for the dogs! Great if you're on holiday but not to live.
Yes, I love France and know Poitiers well; we had a home in the Poitou Charente region over 25 years ago. Have you seen the serpents in Niort, the prefecture of les Deux Sevres? They are entwined on either side of the bridge into the city. We had serpents also carved into the back of our fireplace.
Carcasonne is beautiful but has that 'I've been here before and it didn't go well' feeling lol!
I have looked into Portugal and Spain but not Italy. I can't resonate with the first two; I just don't feel their history the same.
So we are looking at Lot et Garonne, Gironde, Perigord as places to consider but also Charente.

Thank you so much, Siofra!
It seems mankind is simply wedded to pain.

Would that you could find solace in the clouds!
That said, I do hope that Lugh smiles upon you.
Loved it too. This is a difficult battle for all of us x
It certainly is Louise . Thank you x

I hear you. I’m drawn back to Poitiers. And other places in the south, will be a few years till I get out of here..
