At last evening’s LI Baha'i Fellowship's ArtShare, a friend related a story of her bout with a GI infirmity whose name included “pan-”…
Yesterday morning as I was having breakfast, I was thinking about healing music and “pan’s”…and a favorite instrument known as the “handpan” came to mind. In this same corner of my musical mind, I met other musical artists:
FIRST, sisters - who sing about the medicine of seeds, plants and other natural remedies…NEXT, two groups of musicians with deep roots in our natural world, as they circle the globe PANhandling....
These connections to the wisdom of the Earth were stimulated by Michael Crowfoot Walking’s presentation on Lakota Sioux spirituality - one based in the wonders of our natural world. (a post is in the works)
MEDICINE
First, sisters Leah and Chloe - Rising Appalachia
"Find your teachers in the voice of the forests
Unplug, you can't ignore this, wisdom of the voiceless
Remedies are bountiful and surround us
From the garden to the farthest, prayer made of star dust"
"The yard is feeding, stop stark the disbelieving
'Cause the garden holds the shards, the medicine is in the seeds..."
--Rising Appalachia - Medicine
SWEET!!!
PANning for Gold...en slumber...
This "PAN" can relax us...help us drift off to sleep...OR, just mellow a little...
"Wisdom in the Roots"
Title track from Hang Massive's newest album. Tracks include:
"Life is just a PAN in the woods..." Hang Massive
Note the mushrooms in the audience...Hmm...like the '60's...
Roots...
Lull a BYE...
"Once there was a way
To get back homeward
Once there was a way
To get back home
Sleep, pretty darling
Do not cry
And I will sing a lullaby
Golden slumbers fill your eyes
Smiles awake when you rise
Sleep, pretty darling
Do not cry
And I will sing a lullaby"
Golden Slumbers - The Beatles
And this wisdom from the first person to introduce me - at age 26 - in his classic "Be Here Now" - to a loving version of the energy some call "G-d"...
