Thank you for this! I’ll be listening next time I’ve got some writing to do for sure 🙏 and a very nice idea to share your Bookshop.org list! Nice to see some Mary Oliver in the list over there! I can’t get enough of her poetry.. 🍃 also, the album artwork for volume ii is so gorgeous!

Thank you! Much appreciated. Yeah Mary Oliver’s work is so good. It’s hard to not share something from her every month - I’ve gotta mix it up. Otherwise this would just be a Mary Oliver tribute newsletter? Anyway - I’ve been enjoying your meditations album as well!

Listening now and this is a gorgeous mix. Thank you for sharing, there's some very beautiful moments.

Ha, a Mary Oliver tribute newsletter wouldn't be such a bad thing but yes I get what you mean. She has a poem that just brilliantly captures each of the thoughts in my mind. I just don't know how she does it.

And thank you for listening! I really appreciate it.

Gotta love metadata. For your music or for something else?

No, for work! Can be oddly zen like. :)

Oh definitely - I look forward to days that have those kinds of tasks, so I can just put on some music and zone out for a bit.

the world doesn't need more people sharing posts, news about the war

even if we take sides

even if we waste our precious energy frustrated and powerless

the world needs your precious music ❣️

of your delicacy

and that you use your own knowledge to spread it , to more people can access it

I always love music that sounds like it’s falling, has a narrative, and (total compliment) you can forget it is there. These are so excellent I’m really happy / into it

Appreciate you, Eli - thank you! You always have the best words to describe music. “Sounds like it’s falling” 🤯
