A few records that I have been enjoying this past week (a bit of an eclectic assortment):
Vince Gill, High Lonesome Sound
Solomon Burke, Don’t Give Up On Me
Thomas Dorsey, Take My Hand, Precious Lord
Gene Harris, Astral Signal
“Externally we are a single being, but internally we are a world. As vast as is the world around us, so vast is the world within. Asif says, ‘The limitation of the sky and land cannot be compared with man’s heart. If man’s heart be wide, there is nothing wider than this.’ All can be accommodated in it; heaven, earth, sun, moon, all are reflected in it. It becomes itself the whole. This world becomes as one chooses to make it. If man only knew that! But since he does not know that, the world is not heaven, but has become its opposite. We blame others for our sorrows and misfortunes, not perceiving that we ourselves are the creators of our world; that our world has an influence upon our life within as well as upon our life without.” ~Hazrat Inayat Khan
Let us all be more tolerant and patient with each other…and ourselves!
