There are days when you’re sure there’s nothing in this world for you. You’ve memorized all the bad news and even the supposed kindness of strangers after your wife’s tumble on an uneven sidewalk appears to you as circling vultures over the wounded waiting to tare her flesh with sympathetic claws. And the day only gets darker, until, shrouded by uselessness you finally notice that street lamp and the three women neath its soothing light. They are poised beneath for you, calling, their bright eyes the voices of your touchstones: the youngest sings Mary Oliver’s ‘Wild Geese’ and the middle David Whyte’s ‘Everything is Waiting For You’ and the eldest Marie Howe’s ‘Annunciation’. These have called you back to yourself, your three women, your cats and dog and home and purpose. Yes these poems tell you to listen to the hum-song of the world’s heart and the only truth that has ever existed - that the Earth has birthed you for itself and its purpose. You have a job and sacred duty to be the beauty you’re given. Seeing and feeling and expressing you are exactly where you’re supposed be and everything else is like gravy on the dog biscuit.
- delete conversations between people you no longer talk to. its healthy to let go of the past and not letting yourself dwell on things.
- say kind things about people you like. say good things about yourself. don’t speak or think about people you don’t like.
- look in mirrors. you shouldn’t be afraid of facing yourself.
- clean sheets make clean sleep make clean minds
- allow yourself time to feel and grow. don’t be too hard on yourself for crying, you need to vent in order to move on to better times. even rainy days work towards sunny days.
- if things don’t work out, stop forcing them. there’s no reason for you to keep working and failing if there’s other places/people for you to excel and be happy.
- kiss your body, caress your body. make yourself feel loved.
- running away doesn’t always solve everything. sometimes, the reason that made you run will still be with you. focus on freeing yourself before starting anew.
- a glass of water and a good nights rest can go a long way
This beautiful Swedish lady sings an ancient Viking song. Now watch how the cows respond.
It is often argued that everything our ancestors did and said gets stored into our brains. Their experience and knowledge gets passed down from generation to generation. This may explain why we know or react to certain things without having any prior knowledge.
Kulning is an ancient herding call used in the Scandinavian region. The call is a high pitch tone that can reach long distances. The herding call sounds more like a haunting and sad melody meant to echo through mountains and alleys.
It was getting late and foggy on a magical night last month when Swedish artist Jonna Jinton wanted to try kulning. She wanted to find out if the animals would answer to the call their own ancestors heard when the women called them. Kulning might just be one of the most beautiful and enchanting sounds ever made.
Reality is not something that you integrate into your personal view of things. Reality is life without your distorting stories, ideas, and beliefs. It is perfect unity free of all reference points, with nowhere to stand and nothing to grab hold of. It has never been spoken, never been written, never been imagined. It is not hidden, but in plain view. Cease to cherish opinions and it stands before your very eyes.
