More than a decade ago, a friend invited me to a concert with Deva Premal and Miten. Together they sing ecstatic chants that seem to change the physical air in the room into a resonant liquid of heart-felt bliss. The couple perform ancient sacred chants from different cultures set to contemporary and meditative music. (I first encountered them on the playlist of a yoga studio.) However, they also create modern meditative songs that borrow from many different spiritual traditions.
Having lived near the ocean for most of my life, this particular song is on my play list when I need to decompress my thoughts and remember that I am just a drop in the ocean supported by all the others. We all move together like waves towards the shore.
