Daedalus and Icarus taking to the air

Evening under Lamplight returns to Cambridge 105 with Series 3 of the show. “There is a time … for the evening under lamplight / (The evening with the photograph album)”, and we invite you to attend as we sit together looking through some photograph albums: Greek Myths, with pictures of Daedalus, who took to the air with new skills; Everything that Rises Must Converge, looking at Mindrollingpodcast and at the tales of Mulla Nasrudin, along with a companion story from the Yiddish folk treasury; and Song of Myself, as we begin looking together at Walt Whitman’s great poem from Leaves of Grass.

Lamplight 84 Ainoma

Ainoma, the space between two structures in a Japanese temple

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.
