I prayed for change, so I changed my mind.
I prayed for guidance and learned to trust myself.
I prayed for happiness and realized I am not my ego.
I prayed for peace and learned to accept others unconditionally.
I prayed for abundance and realized my doubt kept it out.
I prayed for wealth and realized it is my health.
I prayed for a miracle and realized I am the miracle.
I prayed for a soul mate and realized I am the One.
I prayed for love and realized it’s always knocking, but I have to allow it in.

Everything Falls Away
There's a thread you follow. It goes among things that change. But it doesn't change.
-wWilliam Stafford
Sooner or later, everything falls away.
You, the work you've done, your successes, large and small, your failures, too. Those moments when you were light, along-
side the times you became one with the night. The friends, the people you loved who loved you, those who might have wished you ill, none of this is forever. All of it is soon to go, or going, or long gone.
Everything falls away, except the thread you've followed, unknowing, all along.
The thread that strings together all you've been and done, the thread you didn't know you were tracking until, toward the end, you see that the thread is what stays
as everything else falls away.
Follow that thread as far as you can and you'll find that it does not end, but weaves into the unimaginable vastness of life. Your life never was the solo turn it seemed to be.
It was always part of the great weave of nature and humanity, an immensity we come to know only as we follow our own.
small threads to the place where they merge with the boundless whole.
Each of our threads runs its course, then joins in life together. This magnificent tapestry-
this masterpiece in which we live forever.
-Parker J. Palmer

Notes to Myself – Bombay Jayashri

November 18, 2021 / onetusk / Leave a comment

The aim and final end of all music should be none other than the glory of God and the refreshment of the soul. by Johann Sebastian Bach

Notes to Myself is one of MOPA’s flagship projects – a series of interactive, expository documentaries that deconstructs the lives and creative processes of some of the most impactful professionals associated with South India’s performing arts. Done in a let-your-hair-down and from-the-heart way, these offer an honest, moving and at times funny and charmingly unguarded look at the lives of these artistes.

This is the voice of Bombay Jayashri, a singer who has performed widely and successfully across genres – Carnatic music, Indian film playback singing, semi-classical music, fusion and more.
