    "There are many pieces that make up our lives:
    Moments that break us. Moments that raise
    and shape us. Decisions we make to hold
    on. Or let go. People who enter our lives and
    leave us changed forever. The ones we love,
    the ones that hurt us, or heal us, or leave us.
    Sometimes we don't understand these
    pieces—or even despair over them. It's only
    when time goes by and we look back, that
    we suddenly can see our whole life like a
    perfectly designed puzzle.
    Don't be afraid of the puzzle piece you're in
    now. It will fit perfectly... just like the rest.
    How could it not?
    The Designer is perfect."

    "Every time I got to a drop of water,
    I mistook it for the ocean.
    And then God would teach me.
    So I kept walking.
    I came across a larger drop.
    I mistook it for the ocean.
    Again and again He taught me.
    To keep going.
    Don't stop.
    And don't give up.
    Keep going.
    It's about trust, dear soul.
    Trust. And patience.
    Not the still kind.
    The kind that keeps walking,
    Through the storm.
    Through the illusion.
    Through the mirage.
    Through every false door,
    And imaginary shelter.
    It's not easy to fall on your face.
    But it's even harder to get back up.
    And not just to get back up...

    Get back up and keep hoping.
    That's hard.
    That requires the deepest level of reliance.
    And hope.
    Beautiful hope.
    Bulletproof hope.
    Irrational optimism.
    Nothing short of it.
    Keep going.

    Dear beautiful soul,
    You almost drowned in drops
    looking for the Sea.
    Dear soul, He didn't let you drown.
    You kept going.
    Even when you had to crawl.
    In the rain.
    In the pitch black night.
    You kept going.
    And He is leading you, dear soul.
    He is leading you, dear soul.
    He is leading you...
    ... to the Sea."

    "My heart is an open book,
    Torn open by my story.
    Tell them you learned the lesson.
    You’ll learn it every time,
    You seek completion in the incomplete.
    You sought refuge in a straw house.
    Then when the storm came,
    You were bare and alone.
    Exposed.
    You spent years swallowing…
    But it was only air.
    And you wondered why it left you empty.
    They told you stories
    And you believed them…
    Then waited for the tooth fairy
    To bring you change.
    And yet still you’d give anything
    To make the story real.
    Let it go.
    There’s a better story.
    That isn’t a story.
    It’s Real.
    But in it the hero never dies
    Or bleeds or cries.
    Find the Real version.
    Memorize it.
    Write it on your heart.
    And then,
    Give it to the world to read.
    Your heart is an open book."

    Once upon a time while wandering through ethereal realms of ambient music landscape, I encountered a label that embodies the essence of what I seek to share through my mixes: Echoes in the Valley. This label with its deep commitment to releasing music that blends ambient with the natural world, has always been a source of exquisite music that was featured on this podcast. I was also fortunate to discover several of my now favorite ambient artists through this label.

    Despite featuring music from outside their catalog, this mix is an invitation to explore the serene and sublime music that Echoes in the Valley curates so thoughtfully. My hope is that this dedication will not only honor the label's contributions to the ambient genre but also serve as a bridge for you to discover the depth and beauty of their releases, compilations and playlists.

    Check out Echoes in the Valley wherever you get your music. Their Spotify playlists are gems galore!

    In my series of mixes dedicated to phenomenal artists that continue to inspire this podcast, I present to you Hong Kong-based producer Ben Tatlow, the man behind Antarctic Wastelands project.

    Drawing inspiration from an imaginary beautiful and desolate environment, Tatlow's ambient compositions, aptly taglined as “soundtracks for wandering souls”, are characterized by luminous textures and depths that immerse you in a realm where tranquility intertwines with profound sense of introspection and awe.

    With his two featured tracks in this mix as source of inspiration, I strove to seamlessly fuse soundscapes that transport you to abandoned, weather-beaten landscapes. Wander with me on this sonic journey. Let’s embrace both the vastness of space and the intimacy of solitude.

    Check out Antarctic Wastelands wherever you get your music. You’ll be in for a treat!

    "The wounds of time, the departure of loved ones,
    The tightly held hands gradually loosen.
    Countless planets in the universe, like dreams,
    Once ablaze in the sky, illuminating you.

    With a smile and a wave, we embrace departure,
    Having shared happiness and bliss.
    Origins and endings, holding and letting go,
    No longer gazing with guilt and remorse.

    Countless planets in the vast universe,
    Together, we shine in the heavens.
    Falling without regret, loving bravely,
    Our radiance never ceases, moving forward."

    "This is not a perfect world, we
    see things everyday..
    That make us take a second look,
    or make us turn away..

    The heart of man has turned to stone,
    and compassion is not found..
    We've taken love and friendship
    and beat them to the ground..

    Let's end this reign of violence, and
    halt these evil designs..
    We are all in this as one human race,
    to that we must resign..

    So, please reach out so all of us cease
    the malice and the pain..
    And maybe one day soon, we'll hear
    sweet music in the rain.."
