Things do come together

Things do come together
As they are sorted out
When it is time always
One step and another
In the flow of life
And always love
One way or other
Replenish energy
Use what we have
Wise and prudent
With consciousness
Of where it comes from
And also where it goes
But — most of all
Where it is now
And what we do
To ease or aggravate
Since it is always both
Though we may want
To consider only one
Or maybe the other
Instead of balance
Opposites in unity
Leveling any bumps
Or else heaping hills
Sharpening blades
Or rounding edges
To meet half way
Anchored firmly
In sound harmony
And sweet silence.

“If I ran the zoo” — by Dr. Seuss

“It’s a pretty good zoo,”
Said young Gerald McGrew,
“And the fellow who runs it
Seems proud of it too.”

“But if I ran the zoo,”
Said young Gerald MyGrew,
“I’d make a few changes.
That’s just what I’d do . . .”

“Yes . . .
That’s what I’d do,”
Said young Gerald McGrew.
“I’d make a few changes
If I ran the zoo.”

The divine

The divine
Is always
With me
However
No name
Is needed
And certainly
No trademark
Which limits
Everything
Unlimited
And free
Claiming
Freedom
By putting
Some fence
Around it all
For tearing
Down once
And for all
To flow
As life
And love
The divine
Is always
With all
Without
A name
Is best
For me
So free
The end.

“Umbilical” — sounds in silence

ReachMin or Phrygian dominant on 136 Hz — multiple 8-string guitar — 10:05 — derived from the sound recordings for “Klanggeschichte”, the story: Nabelschnur about the development of the umbilical cord

ど 道 — DŌ / MICHI — Way

“Helping everyone is helping yourself
it is the best way!”

“The great way has no gate!”

“What is the way?
The way is not a visible thing
it is also not an invisible thing
it is nothing comprehensible
it is not an incomprehensible thing
do not seek it
do not learn it
do not name it
be wide and open like the sky
and you are on the way”

— 墨跡 Bokuseki / Tuschspuren, Tetsuo Roshi Nagaya Kiichi, p. 102, original in German

The divine is all around us, everywhere and all the time

Actually a parasite

Actually a parasite
Could be a blessing
When kept in balance
Or helping to maintain
The crucial equilibrium
As a given component
Of the body of nature
Then — all of a sudden
Appears as contributor
Through the principle
Resistance is needed
To build up strength
And for evolution
To reach immunity
In good tolerance
With all adversity
And decent health
Survival so to speak
As an individual first
Within the construct
Of family and friends
Society and species
The whole of nature
With spirit, the divine
In the creation of God
Ever more conscious
Day by day — in life
Life by life — as soul
Simply here and now.

“To a new horizon” — let go of the horizon to find a new one

Violin by Christina Braun, bowl and cymbals by Ulrico — 5:55

Structures composed by vortexes

“Since vortices cannot exist by themselves, their dynamics must close, e.g. by several feeding each other. Their rotation generates forces on each other: With parallel axes, vortices rotating in opposite directions attract each other, vortices rotating in the same direction repel each other. … If the axes are perpendicular to each other, force and corresponding energy disappear, which results in vortices being perpendicular to each other when they are pushed together by a strong force. … Because this tri-orthogonal arrangement carries the least energy, it lines up by itself.”

Grundzüge der deduktiven Physik, Hans Widmer, pp. 85-86

Colorful sand

Colorful sand
New old sound
Room for silence
Colors to blossom
Times dedicated
To life and love
Space creation
Dreams manifest
Open for sharing
In action mostly
And some words
Images as context
Music for healing
Slow down calm
Tune in essence
The spirit of now
Joy of happiness
The food for soul
To stand up tall
So see the light
Hear the sound
Resonate deep
Inside the heart
Outside embrace
Never ending gifts
Inspiration always
Of what comes
And what goes
The continuum
Of the divine.

A new together now

A new together now
You have it, I have it
No more division
I have it, you don’t
Or you have it, I don’t
But unity of we have it
More or less who cares
So there is life for all
And love — the divine
Consciousness of soul
With spiritual freedom
Every hook of dogma
Detached and let go
Not ex- but inclusive
Unfolds step by step
In this school of life
Discover ever more
Relishing, nurturing
The light and sound
We see and hear
The harmony in all
Beyond every strife
Of opposites distinct
That do complement
Each other’s existence
Rising above duality
Solid peace of heart
In the name of spirit
The present moment
Always here and now!

ϕ The golden mean or ratio

Can symbolic, scientific, and mathematical relations between the material world and the spiritual universe explain the existence of the divine? An irrational number that regulates the molecular form of matter, the golden ratio or golden mean is a fundamental part of many religions and believes.

We apply the rules of the golden ratio in architecture. We do it rationally and consciously. But how aware are we that harmony also in music is — or has been — governed by the same proportional rule, the golden mean? And how much of the golden ratio is present in our body parts, in nature, in the molecular forms?

Music and harmony means not only beauty but interaction with the universe. The golden mean is a common language between humans and God. Geometry, mathematics, and music are not just science or art, but tools for understanding and regulating the cosmos and the world around us.

Just as a watchmaker synchronizes the mechanics of a clock, we can harmonize ourselves using song or chant based on the golden mean, capable of generating a wave of harmony that changes negative, divisive flows into divine essence. Vibrations of sound are able to adjust our movement in the universe from chaotic principles, to invite and follow the rules of harmony — of divine love.
