there are so many reasons to be frantic to run from one thing to another to be pumped high with anxiety and Dread and yet as we know in our hearts it is even more of a priority to keep an occasional appointment with someone we neglect in our normal Frenzy [Music] a deeper quieter part of ourselves we have intimations of it at night on the motorway or in the gray Stillness of the early morning it seems everything we do matters so much but to stay sane we need to hear a different more humbling message that everything
we do and are is in truth meaningless when considered from a sufficient distance from the perspective of the Timeless Stones the Relentless pounding Seas the infinite [Music] [Music] Heavens from here you you can see Venus and Jupiter in the darkening Sky when dusk deepens you can see distant Stars albran Andromeda Aries and the suggestion of a billion others beyond the weakness of your field of vision to counter our Tendencies to exaggerate and panic we need to meditate on our utter insignificance when measured against eons of time and [Music] space even on our own Planet there
is so much that is strange wondrous other and completely indifferent to us this is the village of Rocka candle near crche in Cambodia roughly 500 families live here about 800 kids go to the local school the boys play make come in they put a bottle in a box in the sand and shoot elastic bands at it if you hit the bottle you're the [Music] boss most of the villag are farmers to relax they play boou or go to the local Cinema they don't know anything about you your Sorrows the gossip about you the dilemas of
your career and you till now knew nothing about them we exist too much in the minds of others we are Perpetual overd dramatizes of who we are and what we do [Music] we should learn to develop a readier awareness of our beautifully minuscule place in The Wider scheme of things to free ourselves from our constant debilitating anxieties to bring a little perspective back to our needlessly tense and preciously brief lives [Music]
