Longing

Longing - n. A strong persistent yearning or desire, especially one that cannot be fulfilled.

After Yoga class yesterday, I had the great pleasure of purchasing Dave Stringer’s CD Divas & Devas. I cannot hear track 5 – “guru kripanjana”- without crying at its lonely beauty. All of love, loss, and hope floats in those notes.

My yoga teacher P. agreed, saying that it always gave her chills. She hit it right on the head when she said that to her it was the sound of the Universal search for Union and the Divine.

Below I have embedded the only Dave Stringer video I could find, so that you can at least hear his sound. Maybe you’ll decide to add him to your own practice collection.
