Listen, Soak Up and Enjoy...Behind the Music is a Living Whole Online podcast series that spotlights the stories of musician composers.
When you deepen your understanding and appreciation of the creative process from which music, art, writing, photography, filmmaking, energy practices and family connections emerge, you can embrace those creative energies within your own life. This may enhance your health and healing and your relationship with yourself and with others.
This lovely conversation between Mimi Choi, MD and Neal Barnard, MD describes for you how his song and video, Athena, came to be.
Athena
Avec ton casque de guerrière
Ta réticence
Et tous tes chiffres de pi
Sans bruit, tu as peu réfléchi
T’as jeté la clé dans le puits
On ignore tout du temps
On ne sent pas la pluie
Sans bruit, on n’a point réfléchi
Ce n’est pas si drôle, cette comédie.
Beati mites, beati
Quoniam ipsi comprehendent ironiam
Beati misericordes, beati
Quia ipsi misericordiam adhibuerunt
With your helmet of a warrior
Your reticence
And all your digits of pi
Without a sound, and barely a thought
Down the well you threw the key
We knew nothing of time
We did not feel the rain
Without a sound, without a thought
It’s not so funny, this comedy
Blessed are the meek
For they shall understand irony
Blessed are the merciful
For they have shown mercy
