Haunting. What I hear is the music of a man who has known oneness but retained a small distance to keep from melting into it and being completely fulfilled. Thus the longing in the flute and the voice for reunion.

To stay just a heartbeat away from union in order to court the beloved is an art practiced by some supreme connoisseurs. I’ve met a few of those guys and will gladly take their directions :)

You described it perfectly, Mascha. The sweet longing in this song can melt me on the right days. It has sometimes reduced me to blubbering behind the steering wheel on my way to the grocery store or to school…

At the height of intellectual achievement, when you’ve reached the highest peaks of discernment and cannot go any further, some lucky fools are reduced to blubbering behind their steering wheels, like you, Balder. The thought that you allow yourself to experience this sends me into the suburbs of bliss. You’re an amateur in the true sense of the word, the kind that Kabir and Rumi were singing about.
