Relaxing Nature Sounds - Forest Birdsong - snow and evening mood to relax and calm your mind

Sunset on the forest is so relaxing- birdsong and sunset, snow and evening mood to relax and calm. To relax, meditate, practice yoga, study, or sleep.Nature is not the first thing people think of when looking for relaxation, but it can be very helpful. For example, the constant murmur of a waterfall or the chirping of birds is known to induce calm. These and other nature sounds also help us sleep better.

Ernest J. Gaines was born January 15, 1933 in the same house in which five generations of his family had been born and lived. This house was the former slave quarters on a plantation in Louisiana, and Gaines grew up impoverished, an upbringing and environment that would become the setting and premise, and soul of much of his writing throughout his forty year writing career. He lived on that same plantation property, in a home he and his wife built until his death in 2019. Although he is best known for “A Lesson Before Dying”, it is his short story collection “Bloodline” and “The Autobiography of Miss Jane Pittman” which established Gaines as a powerful voice in African American literature. 📚 #gsbauthorquotes #gsbquotesernestjgaines . . . . . . . . . . #gasstationburrito #onthisday #literaryhistory #bookstagram #books #bookworm #author #authorquotes #authormemes #writer #writerquotes #ernestgaines #alessonbeforedying #autobiographyofmissjanepittman #books #nietzsche #music #withoutmusic #withoutmusiclifewouldbeamistake #withoutbooks #lifewithoutbooksisimpossible https://www.instagram.com/p/B7XY1P8hOpb/?igshid=1bswubwrjeduo

Not gonna lie, i really don't think i should be allowed in the kitchen bc I can't do anything without music. Like, if I'll come to the kitchen to make some food, I'll get bored and it will suck bc i wanted it to be over sooner.

So I'll put some music on, but I'll vibe too hard on the music bc it needs to be music that i love, otherwise i still get bored. So, I'll vibe and then there's a huge chance of setting the kitchen on fire bc i don't focus properly on the food

hi! i hope you're doing well! i just read the poem you posted, the one that inspired your username, and i just realized that i've been reading it wrong for so many years. i've always thought it was -dirige-withoutmusic, because as a native french speaker (whose english was still approximate when i discovered your writing), it made so much more sense! "diriger" in french means to conduct (like an orchestra), and i didn't speak english well enough to know "dirige" wasn't an actual word. and so my brain filled in, and found a new poetic meaning to your username. i really liked the image of a person standing in front of a void, conducting the silence. through the years, my english got better but my initial reading stuck, and so it's only today that i've realised my mistake! anyway, i think it's funny. i do still like that initial image very much, though.

Oh that’s lovely though! Thank you so much for sharing. Conducting the silence :)

Ok...I don’t know if any of you watched that music video I recommended in my other post but... I just found this parody of it (the same video but with the music removed and other voices/sounds dubbed in) and I nearly died laughing. 

(But you need to watch the original before this one)

John Cage: "Mushroom Haiku" and "At the Middle"

John Cage Had a Surprising Mushroom Obsession (Which Began with His Poverty in the Depression)

"You know that my hobby is hunting wild mushrooms," says John Cage in the 1990 reading at Harvard University you can hear above. "I was sure there was a haiku poem — Japanese — that would have to do with mushrooms, because haikus are related to the seasons: spring, summer, fall, and winter, and fall is the period for mushrooms." Having found a suitably autumnal piece of verse by seventeenth-century poet-saint Matsuo Bashō featuring a mushroom and a leaf, Cage first reads the Japanese-language original, then offers translations, his favorite being this loose interpretation: "What leaf? What mushroom?" Perhaps we'd expect that from a more-zen-than-zen avant-garde composer best known for four minutes and thirty-three seconds withoutmusic.

But Cage's mushroom hobby may come as more of a surprise, let alone the fact that it turns out to have gone much deeper than a hobby. "He won a mushroom quiz contest in 1958 on Italian television," writes the New York Times' Edward Rothstein in a review of For the Birds, Cage's book of conversations with philosopher Daniel Charles. "In the 1960s he supplied a New York restaurant with edible fungi. He led mushroom outings at the New School. He knows a Lactarius Piperatus burns the tongue when raw but is delicious when cooked. He has even had his stomach pumped. As Marcel Duchamp wrote, inscribing a chess book for his cagey friend, 'Dear John look out: yet another poisonous mushroom.'"

Cage happened upon mushrooms, quite literally, while living in Carmel during the Depression. "I didn't have anything to eat," he tells composer and filmmaker Henning Lohner in a conversation collected in Writings through John Cage's Music, Poetry, and Art. But he knew from "tradition" that "mushrooms were edible and that some of them are deadly. So I picked one of the mushrooms and went in the public library and satisfied myself that it was not deadly, that it was edible, and I ate nothing else for a week." So began his journey to the status he called "amateur mushroom hunter," albeit one with a professional breadth of working mycological knowledge.

"Fascinated by their haphazard growth, the artist went on mushroom hunts, studied fungi identification, and even collected them," writes Artsy's Sarah Gottesman. He "crystallized his mushroom obsession by co-founding the New York Mycological Society, along with some of his students from the New School," and even "made a living by regularly supplying New York restaurants like the Four Seasons with the pickings from his mushroom hunts." His Mushroom Book, a collaboration with mycologist Alexander H. Smith and artist Lois Long, came out in 1972, the year after he gifted his fungi collection to the University of California, Santa Cruz.

And yet in his beloved mushrooms, Cage found the same escape from the pre-cast strictures of logic and reason that he did in sound (or indeed in the brief burst of sense impression distilled in haiku): "It's useless to pretend to know mushrooms," he says to Charles in For the Birds. ''They escape your erudition.'' Hyperallergic's Allison Meier, in a piece on the Horticultural Society of New York exhibition of his work as a naturalist, also sees the possibility of "parallels between his free-thinking music and the unstructured way mushrooms sprout up haphazardly," but points out that, in images of "Cage frolicking with his mushroom basket" or "the playful wind of words in the Mushroom Book," we see that "this really was a passion in its own right" — and one, like his passion for music, that could produce unpredictably delicious results.
