I lived on the moon

Such a beautiful song I came across, with both excellent lyrics and an amazing video to make it complete.
The band is called Kwoon and the song is called “I lived on the moon”.

Even though the music is very good, I wouldn’t have posted it if it wasn’t for the great lyrics. It’s pure poetry; the words express with such sincerity and heartiness the human desire to reach for the stars and to be true to ones dreams.

Lyrics:
Dear little lad
Here’s the story of my life
I lived on the moon (repeat)
Grey flying snakes along
Mountains of destiny while
The three tailed monkeys
Were drawing the stars
Light from the Sun and I
Hide myself on the dark side, alone
I’ve run so far
To find my way
Then I dream again.. alone

Dear little boy, listen
To voices of your soul
It showed you the way of
Silence and peace
Follow your thought and fly
Choosing all the things that you desire
Giant waves, fireflies..
Your dream will be your only shell
Your secrets, your hiding place, my son
Don’t let them try
To crush your brain
Let you go far
..my son

Relaxation to music

A bit of relaxation for us today

Two monks were returning to the monastery in the evening. It had rained and there were puddles of water on the road sides. At one place a beautiful young woman was standing unable to walk across because of a puddle of water. The elder of the two monks went up to a her lifted her in his alms and left her on the other side of the road, and continued his way to the monastery.

In the evening the younger monk came to the elder monk and said, “Sir, as monks, we cannot touch a woman?”

The elder monk answered “yes, brother”.

Then the younger monk asks again, ” but then Sir, how is that you lifted that woman on the roadside?”

The elder monk smiled at him and said “I left her on the other side of the road, are you still carrying her?”
