Something else I like about using #nostr is not looking at repetitive and scammy ads every 3rd post. I just load some sats and zap as I scroll. I know that this is the internet I want. Happy place 👍⚡️

What do you think of singing bowls? The mesmerizing tones of Tibetan singing bowls have been used for centuries in meditation and healing practices. These ancient instruments, crafted from special alloys, are said to create vibrations that promote relaxation, reduce stress, and even improve physical well-being. #soundhealing #meditation #singingbowls

Mt. Fuji from the Shinkansen last month. Such an amazing sight to see in real life.

A snowy day in Finland today. Perfect for chess and the sauna. Wishing everyone a good day!

About my profile picture. There’s a sound wave and a brush stroke in the style of a zen painting. It’s a depiction of a fleeting moment in time. I was inspired by the meaning behind Ensō (円相). The connection to the present is what makes music feel alive and without being in the moment we cannot really live. Zen circle paintings, also known as Ensō (円相), hold deep meaning within Zen Buddhism. Here's what they represent: Enlightenment & The Absolute: The circle symbolizes enlightenment, the universe, and the interconnectedness of everything. The Present Moment: The act of drawing the Ensō is an act of being fully present. It's created in one or two fluid brushstrokes, with no room for hesitation or modification. Letting Go: The Ensō embodies the idea of releasing control, perfectionism, and the ego. It emphasizes accepting the outcome as it is. Imperfection: Ensō circles are often imperfect, some intentionally left open. This reflects the Zen idea of 'wabi-sabi', finding beauty in imperfection and impermanence. Expression of the Self: While Ensō have symbolic meaning, the way each artist creates them is unique. It reveals their inner state at the moment of creation. Beyond Symbolism: Ensō can be used as meditation tools. Focusing on the circle can help quiet the mind and cultivate a sense of peace and acceptance. Unfortunately, I didn’t paint my profile picture. It’s just the result of a prompt put into DALL-E. But with this as the first draft, I might have a go at painting later. #wabisabi #nostr #music #art

Visited the famous #zen garden in Kyoto. I took this photo late in the afternoon. What do you feel when you see this? #photostr #nostr

Stopped using Reddit and X to come over to #nostr only. Now it’s just going to require me figuring out how to make notes and notifications load faster on my device. That’s the only thing I want to improve however possible.

There is nothing like playing music for people in a big park , getting them dancing and starting a party. That’s why musicians are here!
