about

George Harrison x Ravi Shankar-ing about.

lyrics

Farid ud-Din Attar: “To enter the valley of love, one must plunge wholly into fire. Yes, we must become one with the fire itself, for otherwise one cannot live there. (One) that truly loves must resemble fire, (her) countenance aflame, burning and impetuous like fire.”

[Ram Dass: "Now let me show you where the problem is..."]

Hazrat Inayat Khan: “The lover who leans upon the beloved’s response, his love is like the flame that needs oil to live; but the lover who stands on his own feet, is like the lantern of the sun that burns without oil.”

.
Quoted from a Ram Dass lecture, now taken-down YT video called "Love Everyone"

credits

from Smelling Salts, released March 1, 2021
Blake: classical guitar, production.
jojo: vocals, additional guitar

This was a one-take wonder (instrumentals done together in a video demo!) on Feb 1st, the first day of the challenge, and then jojo put some Ram Dass quoted poetry to digital-tape in one take on the last day, Feb 28. A meant to be song!

Lots of other Ram Dass content can be recommended, including as a starter his lecture/podcasts x-posted to YT: www.youtube.com/watch?v=qSTqtKYo9JI
