Il Divo - adagio
Il Divo - Adagio (Live Video) [I]Il Divo add their excellent voices to my favorite adagio by Tomaso Albinoni...play this one as well, but come to think of it, let's do it while I'm alive! Much more fun that way...smiling, Greco No sé dónde encontrarte No sé cómo buscarte Pero siento una voz que el viento me habla de ti Esta alma sin corazón Te esperara Despacio Las noches sin tu piel Los sueños sin estrellas imágenes de tu rostro Que pasan inesperadamente Me dan esperanzas todavia Que te encontrare Despacio Cierro los ojos y te veo Encuentro el camino que Me lleve lejos de la agonía Siento latir en mi esta música que He inventado para ti Si usted sabe donde encontrarme Si sabes dónde buscarme Abrazame con la mente El sol parece apagado Enciende tu nombre en el cielo Dime que estás ahí Es Lo que quiero Vivir en ti El sol parece apagado Abrazarme con la mente Estoy Perdido sin ti Dime que estas y lo creeré música eres despacio ----------------------------------------- Non so dove trovarti Non so come cercarti Ma sento una voce che Nel vento parla di te Quest'anima senza cuore Aspetta te Adagio Le notti senza pelle I sogni senza stelle Immagini del tuo viso Che passano all'improvviso Mi fanno sperare ancora Che ti troverò Adagio Chiudo gli occhi e vedo te Trovo il cammino che Mi porta via Dall'agonia Sento battere in me Questa musica che Ho inventato per te Se sai come trovarmi Se sai dove cercarmi Abbracciami con la mente Il sole mi sembra spento Accendi il tuo nome in cielo Dimmi che ci sei Quello che vorrei Vivere in te Il sole mi sembra spento Abbracciami con la mente Smarrita senza di te Dimmi chi sei e ci crederò Musica sei Adagio/I]

Pablo Alborán - "Por fin" (Videoclip oficial) Greco "Qué intenso es esto del amor, qué garra tiene el corazón, sí, jamás pensé que sucediera así. Bendita toda conexión entre tu alma y mi voz, y jamás creí que me iba a suceder a mí. Por fin lo puedo sentir, te conozco y te reconozco que por fin sé lo que es vivir con un suspiro en el pecho, con cosquillas por dentro y por fin sé porqué estoy así. Tú me has hecho mejor, mejor de lo que era, y entregaría mi voz a cambio de una vida entera. Tú me has hecho entender que aquí nada es eterno, pero tu piel y mi piel pueden detener el tiempo. No he parado de pensar hasta dónde soy capaz de llegar, ya que mi vida está en tus manos y en tu boca. Me he convertido en lo que nunca imaginé, has dividido en dos mi alma y mi ser, porque una parte va contigo aunque a veces no lo sepas ver. Por fin lo puedo sentir, te conozco y te reconozco que por fin sé lo que es vivir con un suspiro en el pecho y con cosquillas por dentro, por fin sé porqué estoy así. Tú me has hecho mejor, mejor de lo que era, y entregaría mi voz a cambio de una vida entera. Tú me has hecho entender que aquí nada es eterno, pero tu piel y mi piel pueden detener el tiempo. ...Mejor de lo que era... ...Que aquí nada es eterno..."

Critical Thinking (and beliefs)
Quote:
There is also the problem that never in his talk, and I am saying this most respectfully, did he in any way talk about solutions. The buck always stops with the person holding the buck, right? His entire life is always, as most Americans would agree, supported by his belief system and the American system validates and encourages having beliefs, which in itself - in his case - validates his lifestyle and choices, being an ordained minister. Just my two little cents... If one throws a pebble into a pond, there are always ripples. But, when one throws a pebble into one's own pond, it is only then that it has an effect on the entire pond. Until that is done, no amount of words - however truthful - will alter the movement and in the case of the American trend - stagnation of the pond. We have all seen this wilful blindness to this even from the beginnings of the understanding gleaned from Rachel Carson's "Silent Spring" up to Al Gore's attempt to awaken some intelligence. I am saying this since I have seen that the human brain is connected to all other brains. I do feel and think that true change cannot come about outwardly, but must begin with oneself. Until that is done, I must state quite emphatically that the movement of the pond (of the course and meandering of the stream) of history will continue its abysmal downward spiral. Always, I must say, thanks for putting up posts of intelligent talks, and always food for reflection. [One of the meanings of the word "meditation" derives from its origin - the Sanskrit word "ma", which literally means, thinking, pondering, considering, reflecting... - the reflection of oneself in that very pond being a key meaning - among its other meanings... something which btw is not mentioned to people who profess to be studying meditation.] Best regards, Charley |

Charley, your points in response to Chris Hedges's speech in Canada are well taken this morning.
And I appreciate your considered and insightful response. I would invite you to research his life and experiences - as with anyone - to understand what may lie underneath what we see and hear externally, if you care to go deeper in understanding this person. All the Best, Greco

Know Thyself
Quote:
I think that it is impossible to get to the bottom of another person, but it is only possible to look at oneself and get to the bottom of oneself. In other words, I think it is impossible to "know" another completely. One can only "know" oneself. If it were impossible to get to the bottom of oneself, then meditation would in itself be a meaningless activity, and devolve into meaningless entertainment and navel-gazing - which for me is just not true. What meditation has made me understand is that all the answers to who were are, to what we are, can only be found within. [As an aside, I have interacted with quite a few in real time who have believed that they were actually doing meditation - according to this or that technique - and then they come to the inevitable conclusion that life is meaningless and then they began to laugh, to which I could only frown, since I understood that what they thought was meditation was not meditation at all. All of which had made me understand that it is all too easy to get lost in illusions, and the mind can and does play tricks with itself.] What I am saying is that all answers to human questions, to the history of humanity, are readily available within. I agree with Socrates who said that the unexplored life is not worth living. "The claim is that only in striving to come to know ourselves and to understand ourselves do our lives have any meaning or value." as per: https://www.sparknotes.com/philosophy/apology/section7/ Hence, the phrase "Know Thyself". |

Mercedes Sosa - "Canción de las simples cosas" "Cesare Pavese fue un poeta italiano que migró a eeuu en el periodo entre guerras .. Cuando volvió a su patria todo ya no era lo mismo. Esta cancion me destruye, todo aquel que se fue de su pais de origen entiende el significado verdadero de esta cancion. La distancia y el tiempo matan todo! Es increible! Por eso habla de cuando queres volver al sitio donde fuiste feliz para poder encontrar algo de eso. Pero eso ya no existe. Por eso te aconsejo. No partas si vas a soñar el regreso. Si partis no mires para atraz Me mata el corazón." Sebastian Leloir yt Greco

Bach's Cello Suites and artists
Yo-Yo Ma: Inspired by Bach (Ep. 1) – Classical Music I've posted these films before so this is the last time they will be posted in their continuum. The collaboration with artists of different disciplines has always been exciting to me, so these films where Yo Yo Ma collaborates with other artists are quite a marvel. And the Bach Cello Suites...well, I cannot say enough of how his music has gifted me with peace for many years now, and I'm grateful. It is my hope that you will enjoy these films, Yo Yo Ma's collaboration with the other artists, and of course, Bach's six Suites for Unaccompanied Cello. Greco
