Look around. Let Nature nurture your Soul. I record images I sense and share them here. |
NURTURE your NATURE Nature can nurture our writing, can nurture our soul. What is the language of Nature? And how do we learn it? We look at the natural wonders around us and do not see them, hear, taste nor smell them. They do not touch us anymore than we dare touch them. And then we wonder why we feel so dead. To breathe in and live like a child again opens the Land of Wonderment. It's still there after all these years. |
🇰🇿 "Stranger in a Stranger's Land" Dimash Kudaibergen (of Kazakhstan) is a phenomenon. His range, control, stage presence... amazing. Been following him for years now, since his opening a competition in China with a song in French. He dared to sing in French, Italian, English and Mandarin and placed 2nd. This performance from 2021 is sung in English! Very good English, I may add (one of Dimash's many languages; doubt he's ever found one he didn't like). It shows off his talents. But the lyrics... speak to me. I'm in Thailand. It's a strange land to me. The language, the culture, sharing a place with someone... all new. New chance to know who I am ... yeah. If I have the strength to begin again ... a real concern. Somewhere in my heart in ancient times I wandered Through these valleys I have climbed among these hills Faces from a past, I'm haunted by their memories Lives and loves I've lost I feel them in me still ... I sat in UD Town yesterday surrounded by smells, the heat, the calm ... as if I had been here many times. It was uncanny. Embraced in a way I've felt before but without the memory of when or where. Lyrics: New ground far as I can see New ground underneath my feet Stranger in a stranger's land New chance to know who I am If I have the strength to begin again Somewhere in my heart in ancient times I wandered Through these valleys I have climbed among these hills Faces from a past, I'm haunted by their memories Lives and loves I've lost I feel them in me still New ground far as I can see New ground underneath my feet Stranger in a stranger's land New chance to know who I am If I have the strength to begin again New ground far as I can see New ground underneath my feet Stranger in a stranger's land New chance to know who I am If I have the strength to begin- New ground far as I can see New ground underneath my feet Stranger in a stranger's land New chance to know who I am If I have the strength to begin again Source: Musixmatch Songwriters: Igor Krutoy / Sharon Mary Vaughn |
