Ravi Shankar at Carnegie Hall last night
Musicians who take us to THAT place - where the heart swims in a soothing state of contentment:
Ravi Shankar and his daughter Anoushka Shankar last night at Carnegie Hall on sitar - with their tabla player and flute player - provided this body with flows of energy that can only be described as sacred and extraordinary. Yet, completely attainable.
I have infinite gratitude to Tracy Verma who led us backstage to meet him - and I watched some form of delight, mixed with teenage excitement - when sixteen-year-old Uma Verma - grabs me and Jennifer and squeals - "OMIGOD, that's Nora Jones." Ravi Shankar's other famous, brilliant musican daughter. And standing in line to honor Ravi Shankar is Ben Harper and other musical greats.
And I squealed when Uma Verma gave me a hug and said, "OMIGOD, it's Uma Verma" - whom we will see performing at Carnegie Hall soon enough.
it's a small world - and the Great High Beings, the Rock Stars, the Gurus, the poorest of the poor, the great musicians whom we honor - all everyone really needs and wants - is LOVE.
the answer to any and all questions - "What should I do?"
"Show them love." - Dave Washburn said to me on my way to work that I was a bit nervous about.
And it's true - with love - one can never, ever fail.
