OM – Organic Minimalism # 177 – We Live With Mysteries

With this show, I’m trying to move away a bit from the format I’ve used so far, with alternating segments of music and talk. There’s a bit more music and a bit less babbling, and the music keeps playing in the background while I throw in my two cents. Somehow this feels more organic.

The music comes from Vazz, Derek Baron, Lloyd Miller, Steenkiste & Bischoff, Christina Vantzou, Memotone, Luke Cowan, C W Vrtacek, amongst others.

The title ‘We live with mysteries’ is taken from the poem ‘Mysteries, Yes’ by the wonderful poet Mary Oliver.

„Truly, we live with mysteries too marvelous

to be understood.

How grass can be nourishing in the

mouths of the lambs.

How rivers and stones are forever

in allegiance with gravity

while we ourselves dream of rising.

How two hands touch and the bonds will

never be broken.

How people come, from delight or the

scars of damage,

to the comfort of a poem.

Let me keep my distance, always, from those

who think they have the answers.

Let me keep company always with those who say

“Look!” and laugh in astonishment,

and bow their heads.“

(„Mysteries, Yes“ by Mary Oliver)
