Here is an amazing and inspirational duo of Mexican acoustic (nuevo flamenco,fusion) guitarists....
Rodrigo y Gabriela ~ 11:11
(Ytube)
I've been listening to this all evening instead of the 432 Hz sounds that I had planned on... still got the Candle Magic and an infusion of healing herbs though ....
This New Moon is awesome.... it's coming up to the conjunction around 9:00 pm Pacific, though it's been stronger, blended with the Mars direct energy, over the last 24 hours or so, like a mushroom cloud at White Sands lols.
Peace to everyone ... remember, just don't look down ??
Something wonderful for humans and pets alike!
There is a gentleman in Cornwall, UK, that has his own YouTube Channel. On it he posts tons of videos of birds, squirrels and mice. Varying seasons and settings, with nature sounds and lengths from 20 minutes to 10 hours!!!!
My cats love them and I find them very calming and don't mind watching along at all. They also make for nice background "wallpaper".
Best of all - he has several for the holiday season with very nice, calming instrumental holiday music with the birds and their natural sounds. The boys are watching one right now and I'm enjoying the music as light a fire in the hearth and get ready for dinner and an online concert.

I just discovered this thread, and now I need to go through it many times there is so much in it!
Folks either love or are ‘meh’ about Josh Groban, but personally, I have absolutely no question that he works with Spirit…and that there is—more often than not, a consciousness in that working. I find great comfort in listening to his voice…and the soul that powers it. Perhaps you will as well. Tonight Spirit said to offer three tunes specifically and to put Your Voice, which he wrote during Covid and recorded at home …first. All the others are available on YouTube & if you go to the Your Voice link
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iCbY-P1xttE You can discover if his vibe resonates with yours.
His version of Carousel's You Never Walk Alone and Silent Night are the other two Spirit specifically noted. I experience the touch of Mary and Kuan Yin every time I hear Josh’s recording of Silent Night.
On St. Patrick’s Day 2005, along with a teacher friend of mine and her 16 young students, we met with Josh for 45 minutes. We were doing the Hokey Pokey with the kids when he came in—he joined right in. He is wicked funny and has a real twinkle in his eye about himself.
Recordings in which I have experienced Spirit through /josh's voice: Anthem, Bring Him Home, Per Te, London Hymn.
Space precludes typing the complete lyrics from Your Voice, but here’s a little taste
Now we're so connected but never more alone
We tell the world that we're special from the filter of a phone
I gotta be open 'cause life's meant to be shared
But how can I be the truest me when I'm so scared?
Well, I believe in all of us
I won't let this go to waste
I want someone I can touch
I want something I can taste
Holding on to what we must
The Light ahead, so hard to chase
But there is hope in all of us
And I can see it on your face
I've never been one to pray
Losing trust and losing faith
But there is God in all of us
And I can see her on your face.
At the end of the video is a powerful quote from Thich Nhat Hahn.
I love Josh Groban. He has been so candid about his struggles with depression. He has the voice of an angel.
I struggle too and when I do I listen to The River and Granted. If anyone can link them I'd be most appreciative.

Tears rolled down my face when I first watched this back when it was first out.

This one is another one that is so powerful. "No matter where I go, there I am"
Blessings and Good Joshing! ❤️
I found this guy called the "raccoon whisperer" on YouTube early this year. His videos have really helped me forget some of the crazy stuff going on in the world right now. I find animals very therapeutic.
I also sometimes watch om chanting videos. There are others I watch and I will add those later but here is one in particular I like:
I find this song by U2 "Love is bigger than anything in its way" very uplifting:
I also like this song by Andrea Bocelli - "Gloria the gift of life":
That's it for now.
@luminous My son found the "raccoon whisperer" videos and showed them to me. It's charming and hilarious at the same time.
Here's another one he found, this one featuring opossums. It's short, but you must TURN UP THE AUDIO for best effect !! ?

Last night i stacked up the queue on youtube with a bunch of stuff i had never seen, and then drifted off to sleep, listening. When this came on, the beauty of it stunned me right out of my dream. A cover of Mazzy Star's Fade Into You, by Frank Watkinson https://youtu.be/OPgfyeQLzkk
In honor of Deb Haaland, our first Native American to be the leader of the DOI .... ?

Let's see if this will post:

@ana I have a similar shot from holding my iPhone up to my binoculars. It was pretty awesome to see.
And now for a bit of levity.
For some days now I keep hearing and seeing this scene:
iT: " I'm invincible!"
Almost everyone else: "You're a loony!"

This is a (IMO) a very significant and trippy song by four guys in their early 20's:

(youth are awakening...)
Age of Machine
Greta Van Fleet
Plugged in since the womb
Prophet of the dune
In this electric tomb
Man has made
An omnipresent force
Heading on a course
For interstellar shores
Malfunctioned as it grew
And the circuits blew
Falling down on you
Now you're free
Unplug from the source
No more underscores
Open up the doors
Oh god, the feeling
We need some healing
We need some healing
God knows if you feel defeated
You have been cheated
You have retreated
Oh god, the feeling
We need some healing
We need some healing
God knows if you feel defeated
You have been cheated
You have retreated
This new version of the Peter Gabriel protest song Biko is amazing.
This video is fantastic!
The Marsh Family has been singing and making fun parody pandemic videos since early in the pandemic. This one is fantastic! A great video!

I know I keep touting these guys, but they more than deserve it. So groovy and meaningful you'd think it was from 1972, but it was just released a week ago:

HEAT ABOVE-Greta Van Fleet
May our tears of rain wash down to bathe you
This is what life is worth
When the fires still burn and rage all around
Fire still burning on the ground
Follow the fearsome sound
As they march to battle, hear the drums pound
We do not fight for war
But to save the lives of those who do so
Fire still burning on the ground
Rising with the heat above
Life's the story of
Ascending to the stars as one
Is a peaceful army joining the band
Walking hand in hand
To an anthem loudly sung where they stand ...
