“I found my God in music and the arts, with writers like Hermann Hesse, and musicians like Muddy Waters, Howlin’ Wolf, and Little Walter. In some way, in some form, my God was always there, but now I have learned to talk to him.”
Eric Clapton
I hope we have a beautiful weekend. Thanks to Eric, I found some great music and a free audiobook to get us started.
“Siddhartha is one of the great philosophical novels. Profoundly insightful, it is also a beautifully written story that begins as Siddhartha, son of an Indian Brahman, leaves his family and begins a lifelong journey towards Enlightenment. On the way he faces the entire range of human experience and emotion: he lives with ascetics, meets Gotama the Buddha, learns the art of love from Kamala the courtesan, and is transformed by the simple philosophy of the ferryman Vasudeva whose wisdom comes not from learned teachings but from observing the River. Hermann Hesse (1877-1962) was a German-Swiss novelist, poet, and painter. He was awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1946.” (Summary by Adrian Praetzellis)
I agree, Ivor. You’re very welcome! I started a playlist called Audiobooks just for this (and hopefully others). I was really happy to see this unabridged free version. ♥.
Very wise words by Eric Clapton, and thank you Niki, for music videos, and the glorious Audio Book … which I saved in my YouTube library ..
