Living The Unknown


Some people say that daydreamers walk on the clouds.
Some other say that they live in their dreams.
In fact daydreamers live for the unknowing.
 
First music post is one of my favourite melodies : "Cloud of Unknowing" by Jan Garbarek from his album In Praise Of Dreams [2004]
I love this melody, but I couldn't find any video, so I decided to make one, without intention of any copyright infringement. 
Hope you like it.




Words below [and on screen] are excerpts from “The Cloud of Unknowing”, an anonymous work of Christian mysticism written in the latter half of the 14th century.
 

" My soul is thirsting for God, the God of my life; 
when shall I enter and see the face of God? ”
Take good care of time and how you spend it. Nothing is more precious than time.
In one small particle of time, little as it is, heaven can be won and lost.
This is a sign that time is precious: God, who is the giver of time, never gives two particles of time together, but one after the other . . .
By his Godhead he is the maker and giver of time.
By his manhood he is truly the keeper of time and
By his Godhead and manhood together he is the truest judge and accountant of the spending of time..."
