What we like
- The gentle harmonies sung in combination with the music give you a feeling of peace that transcends the need to understand the words. However, once you see the translation of the words it gives it greater depth and caresses your soul
Soul experience
- This beautiful lullaby sets the scene for an incredible movie and it lulls you into a sense of wonderment of the story that unfolds
To reflect on
- Are you a Peacock? Or it’s beautiful plumage? …
- Are you the moon? Or the moonlight? …
- Are you the eyelid? Or the dreams within? …
- Are you a flower? Or it’s sweet nectar? …

Reinhold Niebuhr – serenity prayer
“God, grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change,
Courage to change the things I can,
And wisdom to know the difference.”
F. Scott Fitzgerald – a smile
“It was only a sunny smile, and little it cost in the giving, but like morning light it scattered the night and made the day worth living.”
Christian D. Larson – believe
“Believe in yourself and all that you are. Know that there is something inside you that is greater than any obstacle.”
Chandogya Upanishad – within
“As large as this ether (all space) is, so large is that ether within the heart. Both heaven and earth are contained within it, both fire and air, both sun and moon, both lightning and stars; and whatever there is of the Self here in the world, and whatever is not, all that is contained within it.”
