I just learned about Hildegard von Bingen (1098-1179) via our local public radio classical station, so stumbling on this release was meaningful.
The vocals on this album are so powerful and transportive.

Hilke has such a unique vocal and sonic presence—the distorted bass paired with heavy drums, piano and violin makes for such an interesting composition and feel that i don’t often get from anything else,, its got a slight celtic vibe to it as well on the count of the violin. such beautiful stuff

Found her music a while back and it stayed close to my heart ever since! Added almost her whole Colour Green album to one of my early playlist that I still like to revisit on the occasion. Sibylle’s music has a cool histpry and I recommend looking into it if it tickles ur fancy :-)

👦I’m not a parent and do not plan to be. Kids can wear me out fast with their high energy and noise level; it leaves me very over-stimulated. But it’s pretty extreme when people say they ”hate kids” and I often feel it’s a reflection of their childhood and beliefs around how kids “should be.” That they were expected to be quiet, obedient, and out of the way by their parents when they were little.
It’s fucking hard to be a kid. You’re dealing with a rapidly-changing body and underdeveloped brain, managed by flawed adults who are enforcing boundaries that you do not understand. It’s confusing and hard to manage your feelings and honestly just a lot.
People are impatient with kids when they‘re brand new to the world and figuring it all out, and this is a time kids need a friend the most. Children can also be teachers to adults with how they are less habituated to the world. They teach us how to be free and open-hearted and silly and imaginative.
A good practice is to be kinder and gentler with kids. If that feels difficult, start with gentleness toward your inner child. Maybe that’s the child in your life that needs your attention and kindness most.

I meant to post this yesterday. Absolutely beautiful morning for walk.
This morning is also beautiful but in a spring rain kind of way.
