On the Nature of the Sound of Respite

commentary by Balmorhea

Mood Construction

because I have been wanting to share the subtlety and nuance of Elena Tonra & band “Daughter,” and after a day on repeat words became…

mobius, ever,

turning ribbon gyre

.

under foot, a soaker hose

immersing.

a sprinkler fountain

saturates

.

entrailing

an emanation –

tangled collisions –

of stars. ย of light.

.

and here, supine

undone

amiss

absorbed

in aimless ache

.

while there, ever,

slight twist in the band,

an error,

a mark-miss,

.

and bypass.

Thank you!

Here. Now.

Reading Maturana & Varela’s accounts of how we ought to go about engaging scientific activity (and life)… with integrated mindfulness/awareness and sense of our embeddedness in whatever we are observing, inquiring…

coupled with required textbook for LIS – metacognition and reflection in learning contexts:

and then this comes on…..the sound of the meaning, I guess….

Waking…?

Greetings all, I apologize for not filling daily posts with content (or…anything) of late. ย I feel the loss myself as this serves as my creative outlet currently, and I feel it when I don’t create, purposefully. ย Anyway, I’m trying to orchestrate some time in the next week to compose something. ย For now…the music that I’m hoping will help me awake…pull me up out of a sea of academic work…
