There are different ways to meditate, different traditions, techniques, moods. Some feel like laying
on a soft summer meadow, some like listening to morning rain, some like watching a stormy sea. All
unique, but still parts - or stages - of the same process, constantly unfolding, disregarding borders
provisionally demarcated only to match the limits of our practical language. Music, especially
instrumental, drifts freely across all these plains with the cumbersome anchor of meaning swinging
loose, or happily cut away altogether.
The meditative state is commonly associated with blissful tranquillity, a lightness which feels like
hovering above the ground. But the process of getting there is a different story, especially the early
attempts at meditation are often not like this at all. Looking deeply and honestly within oneself,
allowing everything to surface as it comes, not suppressing or avoiding anything can be a very
sobering experience, difficult, even painful. Serenity that may come much later, the fruit of the whole
endeavour doesn’t come from thinking only happy thoughts, but rather from a compassionate
permission you give yourself to fail over and over again, and feel whatever you feel in its entirety;
from the acknowledgement that what comes is most of the time out of your control.
The only thing you can control is your response to these unpredictable circumstances. Coming to
terms with this realisation sounds to me like a worthy goal. Humming along with whatever surfaces,
unplanned, unexpected is a great way to be - the natural way I love going back to. Playing my flutes
in nature never fails to get me there, and the beauty of western Ireland, where I live, is even more
accessible now to everyone thanks to Johnnie's extraordinary dedication. I draw a huge inspiration
from his videos, and this is my "thank you";.
In this recording I am playing the Turkish Dilsiz Kaval, mostly using the Tuvan Shoor technique to
mimic the sound of a Persian Ney. The sound that the Persian poet Rumi beautifully describes in the
opening lines of his most famous book "Masnavi". The reed flute is there not just a musical
instrument, but a touching metaphor of the human condition.
----
Listen to the reed flute weeping
as it sings of separation.
Ever since they cut me from the reedbed
men and women have cried with me.
You, who know this pain of severance
you will understand.
Torn away from your beloved
you'll be longing to return.
I'm always this way, in every company
among the happy, and the grieving
friends with all, yet none has learned
the secret of my heart.
Such veiled eyes, and ears can't know it,
though it's right here in my cries
intertwined like soul and body
merged beyond perception.
My song is fire, not mere wind.
