Ground control to major Tom
Ground control to major Tom
Take your protein pills and put your helmet on
(Ten) Ground control (Nine) to major Tom (Eight)
(Seven, six) Commencing countdown (Five), engines on (Four)
(Three, two) Check ignition (One) and may Gods (Blastoff) love be with you.
This is ground control to major Tom, you've really made the grade
And the papers want to know whose shirts you wear
Now it's time to leave the capsule if you dare.
This is major Tom to ground control, I'm stepping through the door
And I'm floating in a most peculiar way
And the stars look very different today
For here am I sitting in a tin can far from the world
Planet Earth is blue and there's nothing I can do.
Though I'm past one hundred thousand miles,
I'm feeling very still
And I think my spaceship knows which way to go
Tell my wife I love her very much, she knows
Ground control to major Tom, your circuits dead,
There's something wrong
Can you hear me, major Tom?
Can you hear me, major Tom?
Can you hear me, major Tom?
Can you...
Here am I floatin' 'round my tin can far above the world
Planet Earth is blue and there's nothing I can do.
For all the Rumi Lovers... my recent on-repeat track is a beautiful rendition of Rumi's poem in a qawalli Har Lehza Ba Shakalan... Makes me fall in love, breathe love, dance love. =)
Also noticeable is a constant similar focus as in Kabir's poetry especially the earthen pot analogy. Love it!
Thank You ! Gifting myself Love, and attempting to suspend doubts and fears I created for myself ...
गांजा अफ़ीम और पोस्त भांग, गांजा शराबें पीवता
एक प्रेम रस चाखा नहीं , अमली हुआ तो क्या हुआ ?
You take ganja opium bhang,
You drown yourself in spirits!
You never tasted the nectar of love,
what kind of a drunk are you?
- Kabir (Source: Kabir in Pakistan)
Ending the year and sharing the much needed 'words of wisdom' given to me....
“There is a vitality, a life force, an energy, a quickening that is translated through you into action, and because there is only one of you in all of time, this expression is unique. And if you block it, it will never exist through any other medium and it will be lost. The world will not have it. It is not your business to determine how good it is nor how valuable nor how it compares with other expressions. It is your business to keep it yours clearly and directly, to keep the channel open. You do not even have to believe in yourself or your work. You have to keep yourself open and aware to the urges that motivate you. Keep the channel open. ... No artist is pleased. [There is] no satisfaction whatever at any time. There is only a queer divine dissatisfaction, a blessed unrest that keeps us marching and makes us more alive than the others” ― Martha Graham
Love and Light and Thanks to all you wonderful people out there! Seasons Greetings... =)
