‘Supernatural’
Santana have released so many classic albums that is hard to single of one album to review. With the inspirational guitar work of Carlos Santana and it’s distinctive Latin influence, Santana has most certainly stood the test of time, and have gone on to record a wealth of inspirational albums.
‘Viva Santana’ is a compilation of some earlier recordings and includes tracks such as ‘Dance Sister Dance’, ‘Black Magic Woman’, and ‘She’s Not There’, all of which went on to become hit singles for the band. This double album includes some studio tracks, whilst other tracks have been recorded live, further adding to the pace and tempo of the album.
Over the years Santana has continued to evolve, and their two most recent albums, ”Supernatural’ and‘Shamen’ have both met with universal acclaim. If you are not familiar with this celebrated band then I suggest that you become acquainted. I guarantee that you will not regret it!/TE

Tinikling is considered the national folkdance with a pair of dancers hopping between two bamboo poles held just above the ground and struck together in time to music. Originated from Leyte Province, this dance is in fact a mimic movement of “tikling birds” hopping over trees, grass stems or over bamboo traps set by farmers. Dancers perform this dance with remarkable grace and speed jumping between bamboo poles./TE

No Loving-Kindness
There was an old woman in China who had supported a monk for over for over twenty years.
She had built a little hut for him while he was meditating. Finally she wondered just what progress he had made all this time.
To find out, she obtained the help of a girl rich in desire, “Go and embrace him,” she told her, “and then ask him suddenly: “What now?”
The girl called upon the monk and without much ado caressed him, asking him what he was going to do about it.“An old tree grows and cold rock in the winter, “Nowhere is there any warmth.”
The girl returned and related what he had said.
“To think I fed that fellow fro twenty years!” exclaimed the old woman in anger. “He showed no consideration for your need, no disposition to explain your condition. He need not to have responded compassion, but at least he should evidence some compassion.”
She at once went to the hut of the monk and burned it down./TE
