Hiroyuki Satoh's Paintings

"The feminine knows the mystery and instinctually feels the peril of making this mystery conscious. What the heart knows cannot be understood with the mind. Yet the spiritual path involves the work of bringing together the inner and outer worlds, living outwardly in harmony with one's innermost Self."

~ Llewellyn Vaughan-Lee

To Dream is to Transcend Time...

Moon Flower

Angelic voice Sumi Jo singing Moon Flower by Secret Garden. So touching...

Gate of Dawn

The wheels of life keep turning.
Spinning without control;
The wheels of the heart keep yearning.
For the sound of the singing soul.
And nights are full with weeping.
For sins of the past we've sown;
But, tomorrow is ours for the keeping,
Tomorrow the future's shown.

Lift your eyes and see the glory.
Where the circle of life is drawn;
See the never-ending story,
Come with me to the Gates of Dawn.

And whose is the hand who raises
The sun from the heaving sea?
The power that ever amazes '
We look, but never will see?
Who scattered the seeds so life could be,
Who coloured the fields of corn?
Who formed the mould that made me ' me,
Before the world was born?

Lift your eyes and see the glory.
Where the circle of life is drawn;
See the never-ending story,
Come with me to the Gates of Dawn.

Lift your eyes and see the glory.
Where the circle of life is drawn;
See the never-ending story,
Come with me to the Gates of Dawn.

Lift your eyes and see the glory.
Where the circle of life is drawn;
See the never-ending story,
Come with me to the Gates of Dawn

Sona

The light of the sun took us strolling
with the treasures of the world lying ahead,
Magic stones as bright as our eyes
lighting a path before us

The peace of the woods was music to our hearts
echoing the sound of the streams,
Autumn leaves - the voice on the wind
as nature is the source of our love

Now the stones are dancing in the sky
while the world is quietly sleeping,
Lovely visions in the secret garden,
of dreams floating all around us

Travelling in this forest like a lost soul
Bright stars of knowledge shining for the king
Travelling in this forest like a lost soul
Bright stones lighting our way

Eyes ever shining with light
Eyes under a secret spell
Dreaming of the jewels in the garden
of wonders that will never be revealed

Now the stones are dancing in the sky
while the world is quietly sleeping,
Lovely visions in the secret garden,
of dreams floating all around us

Skellig

O light the candle, John
The daylight has almost gone
The birds have sung their last
The bells call all to mass

Sit here by my side
For the night is very long
There's something I must tell
Before I pass along

I joined the brotherhood
My books were all to me
I scribed the words of God
And much of history

Many a year was I
Perched out upon the sea
The waves would wash my tears,
The wind, my memory

I'd hear the ocean breathe
Exhale upon the shore
I knew the tempest's blood
Its wrath I would endure

And so the years went by
Within my rocky cell
With only a mouse or bird
My friend; I loved them well

And so it came to pass
I'd come here to Romani
And many a year it took
Till I arrived here with thee

On dusty roads I walked
And over mountains high
Through rivers running deep
Beneath the endless sky

Beneath these jasmine flowers
Amidst these cypress trees
I give you now my books
And all their mysteries

Now take the hourglass
And turn it on its head
For when the sands are still
'Tis then you'll find me dead

O light the candle, John
The daylight is almost gone
The birds have sung their last
The bells call all to mass

Kitaro - Zen music

Sleepsong - Lullaby from Secret Garden

Lay down your head
And I'll sing you a lullaby
Back to the years
Of loo-li,lai-ley
And I'll sing you to sleep
And I'll sing you tomorrow
Bless you with love
For the road that you go

May you sail fair
To the far fields of fortune
With diamonds and pearls
At your head and your feet
And may you need never
To banish misfortune
May you find kindness
In all that you meet

May there always be angels
To watch over you
To guide you each step of the way
To guard you and keep you
Safe from all harm
Loo-li,loo-li,lai-ley

May you bring love
And may you bring happiness
Be loved in return
To the end of your days
Now fall off to sleep
I'm not meaning to keep you
I'll just sit for awhile
And sing
Loo-li,lai-ley

May there always be angels
To watch over you
To guide you each step of the way
To guard you and keep you
Safe from all harm
Loo-li,loo-li,lai-ley
Loo-li,loo-li,lai-ley

Wonderful Far-away

One of the most beautiful children songs I've ever heard! "Прекрасное далеко" (Wonderful Far-away), the theme song in the five-part Soviet television miniseries "Guest from the Future" (1985).

Nơi Xa Xăm Huyền Diệu

Tôi nghe thấy giọng nói từ nơi xa xăm huyền diệu
Giọng nói trong sương sớm mai
Tôi nghe thấy giọng nói và con đường đầy quyến rũ
Và đầu tôi quay như thời thơ ấu trên chiếc vòng đu quay

Nơi xa xăm huyền diệu ơi, xin hãy đừng nghiệt ngã với tôi
Đừng nghiệt ngã với tôi, xin đừng
Từ suối nguồn trong vắt đến nơi xa xăm huyền diệu
Tôi bắt đầu cuộc hành trình của mình

Tôi nghe thấy giọng nói từ nơi xa xăm huyền diệu
Vẫy gọi tôi tới thiên đường cổ tích
Tôi nghe thấy giọng nói hỏi lại tôi rất nghiêm khắc:
“Hôm nay bạn đã làm được gì cho ngày mai chưa?”

Tôi xin thề rằng tôi sẽ trở nên tốt và nhân hậu hơn
Không bao giờ bỏ bạn bè trong hoạn nạn
Tôi nghe thấy giọng nói và tôi vội vã chạy đến với tiếng gọi ấy
Theo con đường không có dấu vết để lại.

Castle in the Sky

Song for Lovers

Here's a song for lovers
Who don't care if they don't sleep
If dragonflies with heavy hearts
Cut the air like darts

Here's a song for lovers
Who won't ever have to weep
Clear-sighted eyes and uncried tears
All bright out in the sun

You were far too young dear
To get so close to the clouds
No one told you to stay awake
For pleasures of that kind

You were far too small
To step far outside of your house
Now you saw how dragonflies
Tint their hearts with dark
