Silence

“Silence is our real nature. What we are fundamentally is only silence. Silence is free from beginning and end. It was before the beginning of all things. It is causeless. Its greatness lies in the fact that it simple is. In silence all objects have their home ground. It is the light that gives objects their shape and form. All movement, all activity is harmonized by silence.


Silence has no opposite in noise. It is beyond positive and negative. Silence dissolves all objects. It is not related to any counterpart which belongs to the mind. Silence has nothing to do with mind. It cannot be defined but it can be felt directly because it is our nearness. Silence is freedom without restriction or centre. It is our wholeness, neither inside nor outside the body. Silence is joyful, not pleasurable. It is not psychological. It is feeling without a feeler. Silence needs no intermediary. Silence is holy. It is healing. There is no fear in silence. Silence is autonomous like love and beauty. It is untouched by time. Silence is meditation, free from any intention, free from anyone who meditates. Silence is the absence of oneself. Or rather, silence is the absence of absence. Sound which comes from silence is music. All activity is creative when it comes from silence. It is constantly a new beginning. Silence precedes speech and poetry and music and all art. Silence is the home ground of all creative activity. What is truly creative is the word, is Truth. Silence is the word. Silence is Truth.


The one established in silence lives in constant offering, in prayer without asking, in thankfulness, in continual love.”

Music Ramblings


So, David Choi's new album just came out! It's titled: By My Side...and...I absolutely adore it. When he came to UVa to perform...it was absolutely amazing. I actually was able to meet him, talk to him, and get his autograph! But yea, so information about the album:

By My Side (Track Listing)

1. Better You

2. By My Side

3. That Girl

4. You Can Win

5. Uneasy

6. A Dream

7. This is a Way

8. Amy Ave

9. Heaven’s Ease

10. Deserve to Be

11. So Weightless

12. What Do You Know


Here is a music video for one of the new songs off his album titled, "That Girl."



"The ones we love tend to stay in our hearts and minds long after the relationship ends. While some move on quickly, others dwell and heal at a slower pace. Whatever the case, the thoughts, emotions and memories we experience during this time are heartwrenchingly powerful and real."

Another recent song obsession of mine is AJ Rafael's song, "When We Say (Juicebox)." The MV for it is pretty cute as well.

Here's the MV on Youtube!


"Love and relationships are never like the movies no matter how much we want them to be. But when something beautiful ends, for whatever reason, it's most important not to be disappointed that it's over, but glad that it happened at all."

I love how WongFu Productions always adds those little captions at the bottom of the music videos. They are quite the words of wisdom.
