Summary

Jaymee hosts Brandon Boyd—frontman of the iconic band Incubus, painter, surfer, lifelong spiritual explorer and new father —for a playful and thoughtful conversation about creative morality and the toll of success after decades in the spotlight. Brandon reflects on the strange miracle of a band of friends from California growing into one of the most beloved rock groups of their generation, while somehow managing to keep their sense of humor, experimentation, and inner life intact. Jaymee and Brandon explore the process of songwriting while driving, the sacrifice the muse asks of its receiver, the divine paradox hidden within truths, forging your own spiritual path, the wisdom we earn through what we wouldn’t wish upon ourselves, and the ideal beauty of being a new father at 50. LITA PODCAST: hosted, produced, and recorded by Jaymee Carpenter. RECORDED ON LOCATION: Topa Institute in Ojai SOUND MIXED: Chris FallerOPENING SONG: “Ganstaleen” by JJ RAM (Jaymee)CLOSING SONG: “Ocean Of Beauty” by Earthtones Music. COVER PHOTO: Devin J.

Wanderer, The by Fanny Burney (1752 - 1840) LibriVox This is the fourth and final novel by Fanny Burney, the author of Evelina, Cecilia, and Camilla. "Who is "Miss Ellis?" Why did she board a ship from France to England at the beginning of the French revolution? Anyway, the loss of her purse made this strange "wanderer" dependent upon the charity of some good people and, of course, bad ones. But she always comforts herself by reminding herself that it's better than "what might have been..." This is not only a mystery, not at all. It's also a romance which reminds readers of novels by Jane Austen. Published in 1814, the same year as Mansfield Park, it shares some themes with it. It is also very modern, speaking freely of independent women (like Elinor), weak male characters, and unrequited love. Yes, a love triangle is lurking behind the scenes, and, in this case, it is not clear if the happy ending is suitable. At the time when it was published, critics did not like this political novel, and said that the difficulties which "Ellis" faced Crome Yellow by Aldous Huxley (1894 - 1963) LibriVox Crome Yellow, published in 1921 was Aldous Huxley’s first novel. In it he satirizes the fads and fashions of the time. It is the witty story of a house party at ‘Crome’ where there is a gathering of bright young things. We hear some of the history of the house from Henry Wimbush, its owner and self appointed historian; Apocalypse is prophesied, virginity is lost, and inspirational aphorisms are gained in a trance. Our hero, Denis, tries to capture it all in poetry and is disappointed in love.The author, Aldous Huxley, was born in 1894 and began writing poetry and short stories in his early twenties; this was his first novel and established his literary reputation.
