How do you let go of attachment to things? Don’t even try… It’s impossible… Attachment to things drops away by itself when you no longer seek to find yourself in them...

"A Serenity Of Sorts"

As a continuation of Psalm 1, the Psalm of the two ways, Psalm 5 is a morning prayer dedicated to the meditation on the eternal wisdom of God, and how the Lord in his wisdom and understanding orders the behavior of men, some for rewards, and others for punishments. So begins the morning prayer: "In the morning, LORD, you hear my voice; in the morning I lay my requests before you and wait expectantly" Psalm 5:3 And then the Psalm tells us about the nature of God, the Lord according to the Bible is perfect and he does not coexist with human imperfections, such as error or passions, and among other things, God is not the simple love, but the love without passions (Agape). Men have the freedom to choose between the path of error and the path of assertiveness: "God in the beginning created human beings and made them subject to their own free choice" Ben Sira 15:14. But God like the man also chooses, that's why the Psalm continues with these words: "For you are not a God who is pleased with wickedness; with you, evil people are not welcome. The arrogant cannot stand in your presence. You hate all who do wrong; you destroy those who tell lies." Psalm 5:4-6. The Psalm, like all the sapiential texts, teaches men not to seek the temporary happiness but the spiritual beatitude. That is why the sapiential song speaks to us metaphorically of the closeness to God, in the Psalm expressed as the closeness to his holy temple, to be blessed, and so the Psalm continues: "But I, by your great love, can come into your house; in reverence I bow down toward your holy temple" Psalm 5:7. Because in the end, the Psalm teaches as a final meditation, that everything good belongs to those who trust in God: "Surely, LORD, you bless the righteous; you surround them with your favor as with a shield" Psalm 5:12.

Eliminate mental muddiness and obscurity; keep your mind crystal clear. Allow your pure original insight to emerge. Quiet your emotions and abide in serenity. Don’t go crazy with the worship of idols, images, and ideas; this is like putting a new head on top of the head you already have... Remember: if you can cease all restless activity, your integral nature will appear...

Joys Union Group - Boredom Euphoria - I’m not even actively seeking ambient ecstatic jazz but it keeps turning up (h/t Slow Music Movement)

Joys Union Group is a new Texas group that aims to blur the lines between new age, jazz and “New Weird America”-esque psychedelia and Trouble In Mind is honored to unveil “Boredom Euphoria”, their stunning debut album. The group is led by Neil Lord (Future Museums) alongside Michael C Sharp (Uniform, Sungod, Impalers), Kristine Reaume (Sungod) and Dailey Toliver (Molly Burch). The album was mixed by Ben Greenberg & mastered by Andrew Weathers. While the album still skirts the boundaries of the ambient & kosmiche zones Lord is known for is his solo Future Museums project, Joys Union Group fully feels like an organic, living entity, rather than a sequence of electronic signals; heady, deep, jammy & blissful. Leading off with the serene “Cloud Paint”, the album arrives like a spring sunrise as shafts of light peek through, heading next into the title track “Boredom Euphoria”, with its percussive swing driving under guitar & key splashes & embellished by a shimmering, cascading flute melody. “Shimmering Surface” & “Portrero” saunter forward next, both exuding the full weight of the Texas sun over their acoustic melancholy, feeling like an addendum to Bruce Langhorne’s mythic “Hired Hand” soundtrack. “Fragile Chrysalis” kicks off side two, with its drums swells & horn punctuations sounding like Electric Miles jamming with Bardo Pond. “Laughter In the Sky” is a mellower affair, with the flute returning to season the song’s lilting melody. “Fig” has echoes of the more studious outings from the post-rock era, while closer “Wiser” ambles home pleasantly atop a buzzing electric guitar lick that feels like the natural throughline from Fripp’s guitar work with Eno. Neil Lord: guitar, bass, Rhodes piano, synth, saxophone, programming Michael C. Sharp: drums, Rhodes piano, synth, guitar Kristine Reaume: flute Dailey Toliver: guitar, piano, Wurlitzer, harpsichord

i'm no medical expert but my one and only health tip i can offer with any confidence is to allow yourself to listen to bohemian rhapsody every once in a while in a setting where you can put your your whole entire life up to this moment into singing along with the part where freddie mercury says "i don't wanna die, but sometimes i wish i'd never been born at all" and feel a layer of dead scar tissue peel away from your existence before it can calcify
