Ainoma, the space between, where you are in two places at once, or neither, beyond logic, confused perhaps, but open and ready for some kind of enlightenment, “about as near Nirvana as would be convenient in practical life”, as RLS says. We invite you to attend to discussion, readings and music on this theme.

We invite you to attend to an evening, under lamplight, examining idling. There are readings from Thoreau, Whitman, Mark Twain, RLS, and lots of different kinds of music: Scottish, Yiddish, French, American country-folk, psychedelic, plus Kinks and Dylan, and a little more. Put your work aside and spend an hour here, in fruitful idleness.

Lamplight 79.2 [Click this link rather than the links above, please.] We’re attending to the energy of Pan, which springs up to us through the music of his pipes, bringing the Spring energy of kindness and anger. We look at Wind in the Willows and RLS’s essay on “Pan’s Pipes”, and we hear a selection of Pan music played, some of the time, on the pan-pipes themselves.
