Thanks for this Adventures of Kimbo, i love this, because I love to laugh. X
Although I am planning to use it more for comedy with mates perhaps.
Those other occasions I have learnt to stay silent mostly, but that does not mean I can’t make myself laugh, in my own head.
It was going to be a Silent Sunday but I’m feeling a bit more like this today… Wonderful tunes from THE YOUNG PUNKS, MODERATOR, BOOZOO BAJOU, HANDSOME BOY MODELLING SCHOOl, THE KINKS and ANILZA LEONI.
This works everytime for me. If you get a chance to listen to it in the sun, even better. You can really feel like you are there.
Don’t forget that the mind often can’t tell the difference between a real experience and an imagined one.
That is why in sports the players now use this mental imagery to visualise the shot, the win etc with amazing effectiveness.
So surely this must be the same. Even if you only drift off for a quick 5 or 10 minutes on the beach. It is still 5 or 10 minutes, of properly appreciating and enjoying the experience, on a beach and you can go whenever I feel like it.
How great is that.
Listen to the waves and breathe. This is often all I need to centre myself again.
There is something quite primal about it. Another way to connect with the planet, yourself and everything really.
It almost washes right through me, rather than just over me. As though it washes away all other vibrations.
No matter how tight or stressy or tightly wound I feel going in. It always seems to find a way of slowly lapping away at it all. Patiently massaging the vibe until eventually it gets you back to breathing in sync. With them, yourself and the universe.
Where all is, yet again, possible.
By then I am home and back to being me.
The real me. The little me I was before life kicked in.
My essential me.
I do love her. She is so much more fun and never wastes time on any future past. She is always here, always happy and always ready for anything.
Worth taking the time to get back to the real you, don’t you think?
The one that doesn’t lose it with bad drivers ( even if only in her head now, @progress) or even just reacts in ways that later we know aren’t really us.
Worth a think about ?
Enjoy 🌊🌊🌊🌊
I am so happy I found him … such versatility and diversity in his songs.
I was just watching a film last night and I Shazamed 4 of his songs.. it was meant to be.
I have never heard any of his music before, but there is so much to love.
Also I am guessing that I am out alone in not knowing him, because I’ve just found out that he is on tour at the moment. Yay !
Which means I will be going to see him at some point, somewhere.
Not only are they are in small fantastic venues, if the London venues are anything to go by and the tickets are £16 /$20 ish which is amazing!!

Be rude not to give it a go at that price.
He is a Canadian musician who did the soundtrack for HECTOR AND HIS SEARCH FOR HAPINESS, which is where I found him.

Such musician ship, such musicians such beautiful music.
Truly some glorious stuff, hence my urgency.
I will put another softer playlist of his on at some point, but started with this to give you a better taste for all his stuff.
From Funky to Folkey to classically lovely stuff. Not classical, but classically composed, you will see what I mean. Fantastic guitar, voice and even string arrangements on some.
See what you think?
Love, love, love to you all. X
From the oh so fluffy to the daily work of Art’s that are each sunrise and sunset. I love them all. Each different, each spectacular in it’s own way.
Don’t forget to stop, breath and enjoy all of them. Nature’s not so little reminder to stop and be grateful for it all.
Another day under these breathtaking skies on our amazing planet. Lest we forget all the blessings we have. Nor forget to take care of it, as it does us.
Whenever I see any kind of sky, even the grey on grey I appreciate them all, as they all have their beauty. I make a point of trying to drink it all up and soak it all in, wherever I am.
Sometimes only fleetingly if I’m driving by, because no one wants a crash. But More often I would have to stop the car and capture that days, hours, or moments master piece. Feeling privileged to have been witness to it.
But if I am walking my Dog say, or out in nature ideally, I stop and use that as another chance to reconnect with myself and the universe. I sit or stand and just watch the sky go by. It is an amazing little meditation because all you need to do is take the time stop and look.
It always seems to work on me both calming and reinvigorating.
All that glorious colour and form, pattern and geometry. Both organic, abstract and angular at times, how could that not fill me with a sense of wonder, joy and gratitude.
A feeling of connection to it all. I know now for me at least, I need that because it seems to feed me and energise my life force in a way.
So I thought I’d give you a little mix to relax and watch the clouds go by to.
There are quite a few from THE ORB, because they are geniuses at understanding dynamics. I don’t know about you, but I like to be taken on a proper journey. Be surprised not expecting.
Sometimes I like to see if I can either cloud bust or cloud create. See if I can’t make them into the shapes I want. Ha ha ha.
Their first track on the mix, FIRST CONSIDER THE LILLIES is a meditation on a flying carpet all by itself. I just love that. Free holiday as I see it, even if it’s only for a few minutes. The further I am taken the better and more refreshing the voyage.
Also some more from the awesome NIGHTMARES ON WAX, with the most beautiful lyrics and message. I am listening to them a lot at the moment because I have only just found them, OH NO ! Lol it’s ok, we have them now, panic over.
To the sweetness of another ALI FARKA TOURE and the lovely ANGELICA, by LAMB, plus another double , sorry, from a previous playlist, GOLDEN CLOUDS added simply because it’s too great a song to not put on a Sky playlist and because I love it so much i can’t stop playing it.
And a beautiful Japanese word that I learnt today which sums this all up in a way. Where I want to live anyway.
Have a Beautiful day and Namaste you beautiful lot. X
