No matter what these people say about me, my music does not glorify any image, my music is spiritual if you listen to it. It's all about emotion, it's all about life.

I am going to try to pay attention to the spring. I am going to look around at all the flowers, and look up at the hectic trees. I am going to close my eyes and listen.

Yesterday I went on an impromptu trip with my girlfriend to Woodstock with no specific plan other than to end the evening at a particular cocktail bar. It was a beautiful autumn drizzly day with the smell of dirt and dead leaves in the air. During our wanderings, my girlfriend stumbled upon a lovely book of compassion teachings humorously titled How to Hug a Porcupine. I flipped to a random page and was treated to this wisdom. And now I am sharing it with you 🤗

....L'homme qui parlait à l'ouïe des poissons.... 🐟 😁🐬

Few men possess such power, and fewer still use this ability for good. It is said they who wield such a gift are the ancestors of an ancient, mythical people; the last remnants of an unimaginable underwater civilization. With this power, one could, if they so choose, bring balance and peace into the destructive cycles of the present. Using the magnetism of their being, the eloquence of their delivery, and the potency of the words they have so specifically chosen, those blessed (or, indeed, cursed?) with this rarest of gifts can bring about the most profound of change. And with it, the most profound of peace. As you can see right here, witness the gravity of this gift with your own eyes as he kneels, humbly, before the tank, before its florescent blues and pinks, and holds his congregation in rapture. The awe, admiration, and horror are clear as day in their expressions as words, their words, are dispersed from the mouth of man and into their own ears, so very different.

Il est l'homme qui parlait à l'ouïe des poissons; to English speakers, he is the man who spoke to the ears of the #fish.

Look upon his works, listen to his words, and tremble, ye.

I guarantee your soul is telling you exactly what you should be doing.  The question is whether or not you’re listening.

I talk about Spotify as if she is a singular person. Spotify is a cryptid who picks my music from her music cave and does a really bad job sometimes.

"We Indians know about silence. We are not afraid of it. In fact, for us, silence is more powerful than words. Our elders were trained in the ways of silence, and they handed over this knowledge to us. Observe, listen, and then act, they would tell us. That was the manner of living.

With you, it is just the opposite. You learn by talking. You reward the children that talk the most at school. In your parties, you all try to talk at the same time. In your work, you are always having meetings in which everybody interrupts everybody and all talk five, ten or a hundred times. And you call that ‘solving a problem’. When you are in a room and there is silence, you get nervous. You must fill the space with sounds. So you talk compulsorily, even before you know what you are going to say.

White people love to discuss. They don’t even allow the other person to finish a sentence. They always interrupt. For us Indians, this looks like bad manners or even stupidity. If you start talking, I’m not going to interrupt you. I will listen. Maybe I’ll stop listening if I don’t like what you are saying, but I won’t interrupt you.

When you finish speaking, I’ll make up my mind about what you said, but I will not tell you I don’t agree unless it is important. Otherwise, I’ll just keep quiet and I’ll go away. You have told me all I need to know. There is no more to be said. But this is not enough for the majority of white people.

People should regard their words as seeds. They should sow them, and then allow them to grow in silence. Our elders taught us that the earth is always talking to us, but we should keep silent in order to hear her.

There are many voices besides ours. Many voices…”

Death must be so beautiful. To lie in the soft brown earth, with the grasses waving above one’s head, and listen to silence. To have no yesterday, and no tomorrow. To forget time, to forgive life, to be at peace.

When I began to listen to poetry, it's when I began to listen to the stones, and I began to listen to what the clouds had to say, and I began to listen to other. And I think, most importantly for all of us, then you begin to learn to listen to the soul, the soul of yourself in here, which is also the soul of everyone else.
