All that is near me has lost its name. In here there are white snakes and there are white sheep and they both love the sound of the flute. There’s nothing to do but wait. A sheep will eventually come your way. You have to trust in that moment, and you have to be prepared to follow. Otherwise get ready for a night of hopeless insomnia.

Now, when a white snake bites it doesn’t hurt, but you’ll suddenly start feeling a very strange and increasing thirst. You’ll drink several glasses of water but the thirst wont dissapear, and if you drink too much you’ll only make things worse. When this has happened to me I’ve discovered that the only intelligent solution is waiting. The darker the room, the faster the poison will leave your body. And just as in the samsara, the cycle will repeat at the speed of night until you finally get it right.

    Oh my goodness this is deep. Fantastic to hear more GAS on here and The Slight Below also, definitely easing me into the day before everyone shows up to work.

    Another keeper for the pod, cheers Moka keep it up.

    I belive I have understood a little bit more my musical taste.

    I prefer “where Am I”… I think it’s because the song evolve on two opposite layers: one is sad, the other goes like a playing kid… as when you are motionless in your car while the life flows you around, when you stay behind the glass of a window, etc… this struggling opposition hits me into the deep.

    Watching the life from a higher and privileged point of view, in relation and opposition with all the rest gives me the sensation as to cry tears of happiness.

    Tnx Mokita
