North America's Gnarliest mix for recognizing that water is the virtue of water

For this fifth and final installment of  "Mountains and Waters Sutra" series, we'll consider the virtuousness of things as they are: "water is the virtue of water," "mountains hidden in mountains," and the enlightenment that is stored within each element of our lived experience.

Our soundtrack includes mushroom river ceremonies, the clattering ritual drone of montane forests, shape-shifting mountain movers, mountain mantras for early risers, irie transmissions from the mountains round about Jerusalem, and riparian music of the Kesh.

Our practice begins and ends with excerpts from "The Babbling Brook", Strategy's long-form improvisational exploration of  the "effect of listening to the movement of water in which there is continual, roiling change and chaos."

The cover image from this episode is from my 2009 series of full-moon photographs of monzogranite formations near Squaw Tank in Joshua Tree National Park.
