OASES of JOY

Peace... Harmony... Beauty... and Thankfulness create an Oasis within. This piece is about Pausing, Counting our Blessings, and Being Thankful. Hmmm...................

The very Air we breathe is a beginning. :)) Our 'blessings' are what we would all do well to center on. And Not the crap! Yes... Hell is all around us day by day, and there's so much to draw our attention to it, but it's nothing special. But what gives us Joy surely is! :)

Anyway.... getting back to the music.

This piece came through me like a fresh and welcome breeze. In fact... i had forgotten all about it until earlier today when reviewing some of my recent Improvisational Piano recordings. Wow i thought. "This is so peaceful....and so beautiful... that i 've got to share it with everyone on SoundCloud as a kind of dynamic Bookend to my recent JazZ Piano piece 'What She Said'. Indeed....it couldn't be much more opposite. Further, i recommend headphones, as it's clear as a bell, but will take some 'mindful' listening to hEAR in the best light. It makes me Smile. It feels like a number of re-vitalizing Oases that unfold before a weary traveler on the Long Road of Life, enabling further progress.
Using another analogy, an Oasis of Calm within oneself in the midst of the craziness of this 'ol world allows one the peace of mind to move forward. Tranquility, Harmony and Beauty still exist and must be something that we carry with us wherever we go. All of these priceless states of being are freely available if we just pause.... and let that reality well up and then be eXpressed creatively in some manner.
i truly hope you find an 'Oasis' within yourSelf' as you listen and inJoy.

Namaste, and Warmest regards...
