Morumbeer Pure music loaded with Prana.
This is really special.
Find an isolated spot, burn some incense, choose your best headphones and watch time and space expand. Favorite track: Becoming Invisible (reprise).

Berkdrums Another amazing, breathtakingly beautiful release! Drifting on these clouds of everlasting peaceful sounds.. ‘Less is more’ doesn’t mean it sounds as if the artist doesn’t do that much to create, and sculp these amazing tracks, I mean it in the sense that I’m so thankful these tracks are not overloaded with all kinds of soundeffects and busy melody-lines that get me out of focus. This here is another little masterpiece..

about

"The ego desiring perfection is part
and parcel of imperfection." ~ Jean Klein

"True perfection seems imperfect,
yet it is perfectly itself." ~ Lao Tzu

"To be in harmony with the wholeness
of things is not to have anxiety over
imperfections." ~ Dōgen Zenji

"Nothing we see or hear is perfect.
But right there in the imperfection
is perfect reality." ~ Shunryu Suzuki

These tracks celebrate the Japanese aesthetic "wabi-sabi" which finds beauty in cracks, chips, worn-out, and obviously-mended things because flaws are the true nature of reality. All that exists is perfectly imperfect and imperfectly perfect.

As a diamond is no less valuable for its unique flaws, so each of us is no less valuable for ours. Each of us is a walking, breathing metaphor of perfection and imperfection and that is our true nature.

Each of us contains the entire universe; just so, each of us are unique metaphors for everything.
