Our society has a tremendous engine for creating dissatisfaction, desire, and craving. Happiness is going to be this, it's going to be that, but it's never going to be just enjoying yourself where you are and as you are.
-David Nichtern
Sometimes there is a hum or low rumble in our environment, like a refrigerator or heater unit. When it stops, there is a kind of open, spacious quality and a sense of relief. Meditation is like that. Basically we sit and think and think and think; then occasionally that noisy mind stops for a moment and we experience a kind of open, spacious quality and a sense of relief. We can’t manufacture it and we can’t hold onto it. In Shambhala we call it “suddenly free from fixed mind.

♫ Midnight At The Oasis ♫
I last played this song back in June 2020, nearly five years ago. Some liked it, others not so much, but it’s one that I really like, so tonight I’m gonna treat myself and hope that you guys enjoy it, too!

"But it was a chance meeting with songwriter and Buddhist teacher David Nichtern a year earlier that helped Larson’s career take off. Nichtern, who wrote Maria Muldaur’s “Midnight at the Oasis,” was performing with his band at the Sweetwater Saloon in Mill Valley, California, one evening, when Larson and a friend approached them at soundcheck. He soon hired Larson to sing in his band. “I think it’s fair to say I discovered her,” Nichtern says. “It was called Nichtern and the Nocturns and Nicolette, but she didn’t get billing.”
All these years later, Nichtern can still recall Larson’s unique ability to harmonize. “She had this really graceful gift of being able to wrap herself around the lead vocal and make it feel like you had rehearsed for a million years already,” he said. “It was like if you get a good suit, and it fits. It had that custom-tailored kind of feeling.”
David Nichtern is a senior Buddhist teacher who has been practicing and teaching meditation for over 40 years. David is also a four-time Emm
Eddie played a solo on Nicholette Larson's "Can't Get Away From You". The band had an agreement no one would play on anyone else's albums. So Eddie took no credit. So credit was given by taking Nicholette Larson's Lotta Love and switching Love to Drugs. Satire at its best.
