Review: Miles Davis: The Playboy Interview

Miles Davis: The Playboy Interview by Playboy

My rating: 4 of 5 stars



I'm often conflicted about Davis in the context of his relationship with women; as a performer he is brilliant, and sensitive, and I would like to have seen more unfolding of his sensitive side into his personal life. However, reading about the mind of this masterful performer is engaging.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars



An interesting and humble character, Depp shows his interest in human nature, keeping it simple, and being honest with yourself about your self.

She loved this book.

This photo is from our first year in Konya, maybe the first week we were here. At Nezih and Gülbün Onur's house, enjoying fruits from the garden.

Aundreta and a point from "The Point"

She would change "man" to "woman" before she said it aloud, but the idea fits her exactly. #bubblegumadventures #thankyouforthat


If you observe a really happy man, you will find him building a boat, writing a symphony, educating his son, growing double dahlias in his garden, or looking for dinosaur eggs in the Gobi desert. He will not be searching for happiness as if it were a collar button that has rolled under a radiator.
--W. BERAN WOLFE

Although he survives for most people only through this quote, Walter Beran Wolfe was a real person, an Austrian-born American psychiatrist and student/translator of Alfred Adler. It comes from his masterpiece, How to Be Happy Though Human (1931), which was one of the first self-help bestsellers. Wolfe died in an accident at the age of thirty-five.

Hexagram 64 - Inner Truth

"Hexagram 64 - Inner Truth"

A mother can understand the most important lesson of life,
That Love makes things real,
Even if a thing is unseen,
Or cannot speak,
Or does not respond.
Love is more real than rolled eyes,
More true than tears,
More concrete than success or failure.

I grow tired of moments
Where I have to 'cling to life',
It feels dishonest,
Because Love is real,
it only needs to be acknowledged.
And moments are only tools to celebrate Love,
Life cannot be 'clung to',
That is an agreement we make with each other.
Love is real, but I am not,
To pretend that I am is something we agree to do,
Love is truth, but we are only tools for truth
To show itself to itself,
To turn the jewel and let Light shine through it,
Become one with it,
Illuminate the worlds with its own energy,
Become fluid and air, and fill the spacelessness
With new vibrations.

Love is always connecting with itself,
So there is no "you" or "I" -- Love amplifies into Being.
If it is not Love, I have no interest in it,
Wherever Love is, stay there, right there,
Wherever Love is, be in that place, and no other.
If you agree to go somewhere else,
Enjoy it.
If you can.
