IMPROVISATION TO IMPROVISATION

Impressions of the music by
Peter Kater & R. Carlos Nakai
from the "Improvisations In Concert"
(c) (p) 1996 Silver Wave Records

     A little white cloud is sliding through the sky, carried by light air stream. It is beautiful and weightless. It is pure and natural, as natural can be the Life itself. And now it melts far away... But you feel, how its beauty, while drowning you, are feeding you. And you feel freshness and joy. And you feel fine in this best of all the worlds.

     This world existed without us. It was waiting for us. And it needs you, it needs your spirit, it needs your heart. It will not survive without you. And it will be a little bit sad without it.

     Look, how beautiful is this little planet. How wonderful is this world. Let it come into you, fill you…

     Where and when did we leave the Country of the Spirit? Why have we forgotten the most precious treasure - Human Spirit? Where are you sleeping, the forgotten one and left not needed?

     The time comes to return. The time comes to return to yourself. The time comes to remember, who are You, and why do you exist. The time comes to throw away all the little things and try to remember that you are the Spirit. You are Beauty and Love. And this is the only your reality. The time comes to feel yourself here, in this very moment. To feel yourself, to feel the Life itself. It is so beautiful! It is so exciting! It is so infinite!

                The Earth without beginning and end
                The Earth of wonderful beauty
                "The Earth of Spirit"
                Look there, feel it.

                In the non-beginning sequence of world
                Is one Magical Land
                And it begins here,
                And it is Yourself
                And it is all around,
                And its name is Infinite Spirit
                Without beginning and end,
                Without borders and obstacles,
                Just in this very moment.
                Just look into Yourself
                Just look around you,
                And maybe this Spirit will come to life again.

                                ***

                Drops of rain on a glass,
                Drops of dew on a grass,
                Light of the sun all around,
                Suddenly this comes to be so beautiful.
                Free eagle in the skies,
                High mountains in gray clouds,
                Children's laughter far away,
                Minutes of a tender love,
                Meeting old friend,
                Severe winter storm.

     Feel the beauty of this world. Be here for a while. And let your presence be blessed. Let the Love itself be blessed. Because you are Love.

     Somewhere in the endless steppes stays a lonely rock. It is so old. It has seen the beginning of this world. It has experienced everything. And if you'll be able to climb this rock, you'll feel a wonderful lightness. You'll feel that the wind tries to fan you like a sail of a menacing ship. And you'll be able to see infinite lands around you: from the horizon to the horizon. And stay tete a tete with this Infinity. And disappear in it...
