Still Water by Trevor Hall
I recorded this live on my sailboat Chat d’O in the howling wind and raging seas…
Also,
I’ve included a bit of live improve guitar, inspired by … nature.
Photos & videos are taken from our sailboat while currently anchored in
our Hawaiian Island hide away 5-16-23 …
No one lives remotely close to this location.
Note the crashing waves on ether side of our boat ;-O
Trevor is a deeply spiritual musician.
In his early years as an aspiring musician, he was of course…
the stereotypical “starving musician. “
He lived in very small alter shrine to a Hindu God,
only about 8 x 6 feet to call his ‘home’.
It was a very blessed time for Trevor.
Still Water is a very spiritual song.
It’s about the deeply calm serene space one attains in deep meditation.
It mentions ‘the boat man’… that’s the Buddha.
The Buddha or spirit guide will give you a ‘spirit name’…
“now I repeat it to swallow the secret untamed”…
Means:
You will find your mantra, your calling and your destiny that fulfills your ‘karmic path’.
“All wise men seek it, and in my heart I keep it”.
If you abide in your present moment awareness with a ‘one pointed’ focus…
You will still your inner “waters”.
In these higher states of consciousness,
you loose track of the ego and bodily senses…
And the effortless stages of “Samadhi” take over the meditation.
At this point,
no effort is required…
While the ultimate goals of meditation and one’s spiritual Path is fulfilled.
All questions of life, and “our” place in this ‘timeless wonder of it all’…
Is answered in the wordless wisdoms that speak profoundly from
the ‘ground of our Being’.
