Depending on art to be present in the now

From The power of Now Eckart Tolle shares his experience with music.

This speaks to me strongly. I, for one, need music to be present and feel connected to the source, the divine. I know now.. 
It's an unpleasant thought to 'be' without music, to be honest. Music has been my number one source, to understanding the feelings, that my brain can not process.
The last couple of years I have been listening to talk radio, more than music. Words and ideas has filled my mind, but not my heart, and I came to realize, that I had become an inspired mind, but an emotional wreck. So I had to turn my attention to music again, just to realize, that I am depending on music to present in the now, when I need stillness. So where do I begin to let go of music, as my first source of presence?

This is what I got from Eckhart Tolle's answer
Don't be depending on listening to music to be present - the music is inside you (it's not in the notes that you play, it's in the notes you don't play).
Presence should not be bound to one thing. When you listen to music and you feel connected, switch off the music and continue listening to the 'music inside you'. Once you feel the 'now', stop, and listen.
Use art to connect to the 'now', then put it away, close your eyes and continue to feel the presence.

Metal Me!

All I did was googeling 'Metal Me' and look what I found!

There are so many things in this picture, I don't know where to begin :-)

'Live fast, Die young' ..

The problem with 'Live fast, Die young' 
 - is that you survive.



Once divided...nothing left to subtract...
Some words when spoken...can't be taken back...
Walks on his own...with thoughts he can't help thinking...
Future's above...but in the past he's slow and sinking...
Caught a bolt 'a lightnin'...cursed the day he let it go...

Faith and trust at sea

I would never have left the shore with you, had I known, you count your weight in gold.

You pushed away as I was sinking, when you promised that we would sail this stormy ocean together.

You took away all my lifesavers, to build your own float - and I was not waving goodbye, I was drowning.

Every betrayal begins with trust .. 

Origional lyrics
"And I've got this black suit on

Roaming around like I'm ready for a funeral
Five more miles till the road runs out

I'm about to drive in the ocean
I'ma try to swim from something bigger than me
Kick off my shoes and swim good and swim good
Take off this suit and swim good and swim good, good .."
