Beautiful. Wordless. Music.
Every week, the Encaffeinated ONE builds a pathway from dream to wake, from ambient and minimalist to prog rock, electronica and post rock, experimental to new age to cutting-edge jams.
Instrumental music – because sometimes, words just get in the way.
Every Saturday morning at 8am until 9am.
Water is the most precious substance on the Earth. The fact that we have an abundance of it doesn’t diminish this fact, but it often makes us overlook it. As the rains pour down, let us take a moment to celebrate the water, even as we sometimes struggle to keep ourselves above it.. Endless Falls

With the temperatures suddenly jumping 20 degrees, and the humidity becoming a huge factor, it’s time to practice a little mind over matter. We imagine ourselves on a plateau of snow and frozen water, in the midst of the Southernmost continent, the polar opposite of our predicament. Perhaps there, we can finally cool off! Antarctica

Of all the places I’ve been, it’s the lands of dreams that I wish to return to the most. These lands are harder to find again, and often aren’t what you remember, only what you imagine you remember..
But I found her! The women I met before.

I had a dream, vivid and inexplicable. I knew it was a dream, and yet it still felt largely like it came from somewhere else.

A winter blizzard once told a Prime Minister: “It’s time to move on.”
Every time I’ve looked at the weather lately, it’s told me: “I’m not ready for you; give me a few more minutes to try something else on.”
But on the hills of my mind, the snow is receding, leading to places once undiscovered or forgotten..

As a participant and supporter of roleplaying games, I tend to see stories as adventures. I imagine that, while we sleep, there are quests we generate for ourselves. This is one of them… Comfortable Expectations by Christopher Bissonette from the album Periphery. Lost Landmarks by Robert Rich from the album Calling Down the Sky. Left
