This year beautifully showed me the spectrum of my This year beautifully showed me the spectrum of my emotions. Isn’t it marvellous to feel? I sure know the opposite, and despite all the ups and downs this year, I am more than happy to feel it all. I am in the midst of recording a new album. The last one, MAYA, came out in 2017. A lot has changed since then and „a lot“ could fill more than one album, but life moves on and all that remains are the snapshots in time, my songs, like musical photographs. This year I released Triad, Death Is My Lover, There Will Be Blood and Die Gedanken. Not only is the making of a musical piece a snapshot in time, but also the release of it. It all comes together - an ever flowing process. And I encourage everyone to create and release, and to do it all over again. 📸: Cover of Triad 🥀 Music, •MOON MAIL•, Offerings🌙 (Link in bio) _______________________________ www.ava-bonam.com
“ If you would indeed behold the spirit of death “ If you would indeed behold the spirit of death, open your heart wide unto the body of life. For life and death are one, even as the river and the sea are one. For what is it to die but to stand naked in the wind and to melt into the sun? And what is it to cease breathing, but to free the breath from its restless tides...” Kahlil Gibran These past few weeks and months have been a challenge. And although I rejoice in a good challenge, this one I didn’t accept, but had to in the end. I was watching over my dying father, and although I was sad at heart, I am grateful for the lessons. He ultimately taught me what it means to have a body, and what it means to leave a body. It is not the first time and it won’t be the last time that I question life and its purpose. But those moments truly remind me that the true meaning of life is found in the pursuit of pure love. 🤍 🥀 Music, •MOON MAIL•, Offerings🌙 (Link in bio) 📸 @brother_t_music _______________________________ www.ava-bonam.com
Slowly transcending. They say that when the season Slowly transcending. They say that when the seasons change, you are able to perceive what lies beyond. Let’s celebrate the limits of our perception, honouring them, thanking them for every thing they gifted us, but then move on, slowly progressing, slowly transcending. 🥀 Sign up for the •MOON MAIL• 🌙 (Link in bio) _______________________________ www.ava-bonam.com
Transitions. Best perceived by the cyclical nature Transitions. Best perceived by the cyclical nature of nature. And we humans, after all, are nature, too, thus cyclical, though we seem to love the concept of linearity. But then again, we are not that intelligent, though we seem to come with brilliant ideas, we are a species that destroys its home, poisons its foods, and kills each other from a place of vengeance and logical calculus. I’ve read that mushrooms are the most intelligent species on earth. I will spend more time with mushrooms from now on, will you join me? 🥀 Sign up for the •MOON MAIL• 🌙 (Link in bio) _______________________________ www.ava-bonam.com

„What was said to the rose that made it open...“ I would sing to the rose bud to gently ask it to open, to encourage it to blossom. Going for a walk takes ages these days because the roses‘ scent keeps me enchanted, like Odysseus and the sirens, like the pungi and the snake. 🥀 Sign up for the •MOON MAIL• 🌙 (Link in bio) _______________________________ www.ava-bonam.com

‘My Year in Poems’ is a series I started a whi ‘My Year in Poems’ is a series I started a while ago, setting poems to music. Every poem has its own rhythm, a soul, a tune that just needs to get caught. Poem No. 5 is ‘There Will Come Soft Rains’ by Sara Teasdale. Published in 1918. For me it is about the insignificance of humans. Listen and watch on my YouTube channel. Link in bio.

“Zero Is where the real fun starts. There’s “Zero Is where the real fun starts. There’s too much counting Everywhere else.” Every day, every moment carries the possibility of change. When I think about Hafiz’ Zero, I think of (at least) two options: No.1: Finding inspiration in silence, enjoying a blank space as a chance for creation. No.2: Being destructive, needing a blank space to begin anew, destroying everything. Wherever you’re at, do it passionately! 🥀 There’s a full moon this Friday!
