S2E3: A Pure Ocean Riff On Love & Art

Season 2, Episode 3. Unhinged gospel meets sonic diary. Basically lots of ocean vibes with very loose grid.Part meditation, part confession, part lucid stream-of-conscious riff about a bunch of random but also not so random topics. If Episode 1 was about listening as praxis, especially in the political realm, and Episode 2 was about the practice of holding structure and fluidity at once, Episode 3 is a dip into the deep end of the ocean side of things: poetry, wu wei, and all the other shit I’m obsessed with and love to talk about. Like how everything is a different container giving the formless form. Literally everything. Per usual, take what works and leave the rest.Poem for you by Hafiz: “The Sun in Drag”You are the sun in drag.You are God hiding from yourself.Remove all the “mine”—that is the veil.Why ever worry aboutAnything?Listen to what your friend HafizKnows for certain:The appearance of this worldIs a Magi’s brilliant trick, though its affairs areNothing into nothing.You are a divine elephant with amnesiaTrying to live in an antHole.Sweetheart, O sweetheartYou are God inDrag!Content warning: Adult language and themes.
