A
wild, Taoist hermit poet who lived at the borders of recorded history,
Cold Mountain left his poems inscribed on rocks in the silent valleys of
Southern China. Here, Richard uses Cold Mountain as a springboard into
the famed Rivers and Mountains poetic lineage of Ancient China. Framed
by the haunting flute of Shakuhachi Master Adrian Freedman, this
contemplation probes the depths of those mountain silences, out of which
the earliest eddies of ecstasy formed. Deeply embedded with pregnant
silences, this is a masterful monologue that drops one deep into the
echoing silence of the heart of being. The Ecstatics is a free audio series
of beautiful monologues set to music, exploring the life and work of
some of the greatest saints, poets and mystics of all time. In this time
of uncertainty and change, these are the people we should be listening
to most intently – their message is the clearest and most vital there
has ever been. |
