reminiscence

[Before we get started with today's episode, I wanted to just share that Spaceman's Transmissions has been selected as #3 on the top 10 list of ambient music podcasts on FEEDSPOT. Thank you, dear listeners, for your support and co-piloting expertise.]

Listeners, I have a unique travel itinerary planned for today. First off, let's welcome this episode's esteemed co-pilot REAPZ5, who joins us on this voyage all the way from Malta. He brings along a special blend of vibe and color that we will pipe through the sonic terminal mainframe during our ascent, flight, and descent. Additionally, this journey requires a particular mission statement. We've received special clearances through assiduous processes to arrive at the final planning stages for this remarkable expedition. This assignment was borne through unanimous requests via our call center headquarters. We have diligently amalgamated a journey into the realms of the past which require us to reverse our course back to a time and place of deep and purposeful significance. Although we will begin the journey together, our destinations will be quite different from one another. There is an oasis of memories that will be visited in effort to bathe in viscous waters of gratitude while assembling a paper boat to sail down the streams of reverence in honor of those that have meant so much to us. This gratitude brings us to our mission statement, which is as follows: 

"Gratitude makes sense of our past, brings peace for today, and creates a vision for tomorrow." - Melody Beattie

Although Buddha (wisely) tells us that we should focus on the present and ignore that past and future, our focus needs to be one that pays respect to those whom have tirelessly laid the bricks upon which we tread. These departing souls have given us a piece of themselves so that we are able to bear the torch of their legacy through action and word that exists within us. Listeners, those that influence us and that we seek to emulate through positive deed and karma are indeed still existing spiritually. The pathway into the negatively painful aspects of reminiscing is enticing. This is not what our mentors and loved ones would have wanted. Rather, they are looking down upon us with hope that the positive traits we gathered from them will be spread like a seed to those souls which need guidance, love, hope, and joy. The graceful traits of those we cherished are in a limitless supply within us. Share these gifts with the world.

As we revolve upon the Ferris wheel together, look out from the highest point we reach to that place where only you can identify as your sweetest memories with those whom you miss. Remember the lessons that they taught you, and hold your head up high with the ambition and strength that they imparted unto you. Carry their legacy to that high point, sharing it with the world around you as the curator of this unique gift. Your departed loved ones would be proud of you.

Peace.

Turn on, tune in, reminisce...
