true generosity

Silent time, Holy time,  All is calm , All is fine. 
It is not nearly 7am.  The thrill of solitude, the bubbly feeling inside as I wait in anticipation for the day ahead, having conquered the very first small battle- waking up before 5:00 am today.      
Listening to  Gurumul Yanapingu (  22 Jan 1971 – 25 July 2017 )  in the background and sipping black cardamom coffee.  Thank you Len for introducing him to me.   Gurumul embodies the true spirit of giving.   Blind from birth , never physically “seeing” the apparent beauty of the earth most of us take for granted ,  he seems graced with a richness and wealth , that  fully endowed persons find hard to attain.   Giving of himself without a thought.  Giving of himself without seeking reciprocation .  Giving of his music unseeing and unaware of his world-wide reach and influence.   How humble is that.   His music and voice are  mesmerizing ,  a calm in the midst of chaos .
 
Watching him sing helps me put whatever issue I am presently facing in the perspective it deserves.  Through his example , Gurumul shows us that it is possible to be challenged greatly ,  to be deprived of a basic sense and still be truly generous.
