dark night of the soul - philip wesley

in #piano3 years ago (edited)

Dark Night” is my meditation song. I came across it when looters and rioters were doing their rounds in Los Angeles. When I’m especially feeling a shadow upon me, I play this piece over and over. JNET in loop... in hopes that I can ward away bad juju with my piano.

I made some quarantine playing videos and filming them is harder than playing them. My mom asked why I only film my hands. It’s a cruel world and people are wacky. I don’t need some meanie picking on my hairstyle, what outfit I chose, and be fodder for a fool.

For Dark Night the room is glaringly bright. I stationed a large mirror to cast a beam on my keyboard so that it can appear that I only capture light under my hands. It was the kind of bright light that can give you a headache or seizure. I only had an hour window to take advantage of the sunlight to land on my piano the way I wanted.

The prisms were made possible by the privacy plasticI was raving about several posts ago. Rainbows casting about my home every day makes lockdown less of a misery. At the current state of things, California plans to stay in lockdown at least for another year.

I’ve watched my neighbors and friends move and Studio City turn into a ghost town.

But I’m alive and kicking and have several unwritten posts in my brain. It’s good to be back. I hope to return to posting at least once if not twice a week.

Hello from OUTSIDE of Spaceship JNET.
After 10 months of solitude, I came to SD for Christmas.

PS. Sorry for the reprise. I posted this video a couple of days and wanted to add more story to my post. Somehow pushing “update” created a new post. Oops.

Also, how do I get my text to not be centered throughout the body of the post?

Hi JNET. I thought I would pop to your blog since I logged in to make the rare post myself. Please take a look at it as it does concern you in regards to your airdrop sitting on Blurt.

Here is a link to your wallet. For some reason finding accounts isn't working on the search at Blurt Blog, but was able to find you using the wallet.

Hope all has been well. I saw you too had stepped back from posting the few times I've peeked at some of the blogs I treasure here. Best of luck, and hope to see you around at Blurt.

Hi Jason,

Happy New Year!

Boy am I behind the times. I have no clue what Blurt is. I’ve got some catching up to do! Thanks for stopping by. I signed onto my Blurt wallet but can’t seem to access my blog. Is Blurt problematic?

Yes, they've been having issues with some of the front ends. The last several days (after I made my post and comment) the only front end that hasn't seemed to have issues is https://blurt.buzz/.

You would fit in really well there if you decide to cross post. They have a love of art and music there. Not much in the conspiracy stuff, which given the current climate might be a good thing.

They don't have a huge amount of exchanges listing them. I've used Ionomy, and evidently they are listed on Hive engine as well, although I can't seem to get into Hive engine.

Happy New year to you as well. Was glad to see your recent posts. I don't log in (only did so to let others know about Blurt so they can either sell their coins or log in enough to claim the upcoming airdrop) however have peeked from time to time. I was concerned when I saw you weren't posting.

Hopefully will see you over on Blurt :)

Awww. Thanks for checking on me. I have a bunch of posts sitting in my head. Figuring how to put my thoughts down. The world has been loopy. I don’t know where to begin and solitude made me blue. You can always find me on other social media sites. I’m on most. Tell me which ones you use and I can connect with you there :)

Stay safe and healthy!
