Plugged in. A Weird Kick.

Plugged in.

It's a weird kick.
To know "what's happening."
Too much news.
Too "newsy" for your health.
Mental,
Physical,
Spiritual.

One thing after another.
How much reality can one soul take?

Try to dose it out.
Filter.

Let the light in.
Parcel it out.

Meditation
and
silent contemplation 
are possible antidotes.

What do you think of the latest news?

Don't know...

overwhelmed
stupefied
exhausted
over-out-raged

Am I hearing and seeing what I think I'm hearing and seeing?

The a.m soundtrack - Cowboy Junkies' "The Trinity Session." (1988) Recorded live with one mic in a church in Toronto. It's soft, soothing, gorgeous. No hard edges. Everything is hushed, beautiful, whispery. Every sound on the record is in place to support Margo Timmins voice. The record opens with an a cappella track. There is a quiet beauty and grace to every track. Originals and covers. Great cover versions of Hank Williams and Lou Reed. Medicine. Quiet. Contemplative. Pretty much a masterpiece recording. A chill-out document.
