To do this, we first need to become aware of what we think and feel, to know who we really are. Some music, such as Mike Roland s, can be a door to such self-knowledge and healing. Mike Roland s music is highly recommended. Water is yielding but all conquering. Water extinguishes fire, or finding itself likely to be defeated escapes as steam and re-forms.
Water washes away soft earth, or when confronted by rocks, seeks a way around.
Water gives way to obstacles with deceptive humility, for no power can prevent it following its destined course to the sea. William A. Mathieu celebrates on his piano many of the serene aspects of water, especially brooks and streams. Mathieu is influenced by Sufi thought and has elsewhere composed music for the songs of the 13th century Persian Sufi Jelalludin Rumi and directed a Sufi choir. His piano music is calm and deep. It is more than just relaxing and merits close attention.
