When I want to travel to the ends of the earth I listen to John Coltrane.....but when I need to leave the planet...I listen to Alice.

[@aharper113]

Agreed

[@francisakpata1770]

Her music is sublime and spiritual

[@lemurianchick]

🤣🤣🤣🙃

[@k.s.pulley-ali8935]

My sentiments, ❤exactly!!!

[@grumpycroissant8712]

I love watching it. It's not like watching someone playing musical instrument, more like watching a mother brushing her daughter's hair. I find it comforting

[@bandhi9]

this is a beautiful analogy because in the black community our hair is very important to us. a lot of our first memories as children is of our mothers, fathers, uncles, aunties, brothers, and sisters brushing and combing our hair. I can definitely imagine alice with the beautiful hair she has is subconsciously treating the harp as she would a childs hair if not intentionally.

[@seenamoon5804]

So childlike. Her expressions...the way she plays...it's as if she's discovering and rediscovering herself over and over again. Absolutely fantastic

[@OrganicAlumination]

That's God, to have us back in that pure childlike wonder

[@Phuzz828]

Giving back to the universe

[@DavidC1618]

Exactly !

[@MissKia92]

She doesn’t just play her harp, she speaks through it

[@SuiteVII]

Y’all gotta read her book “Monument Eternal”, Alice is on a whole nother plane of existence 🙌🏿

[@Sam-bd7tc]

Any idea where I can get a copy? I've looked all over -- "Inner Path" (online) was the only place I found, and they cancelled my order -- said they don't have any of her books available :(

[@mikeu5380]

​
It's available at Amazon.

[@monsterjazzlicks]

​@@mikeu5380 Is it difficult to understand?

[@mikeu5380]

Franya J. Berkman (R.I.P.) wrote "Monument Eternal," about Coltrane (as her doctoral thesis).

[@mikeu5380]

@@monsterjazzlicks I've yet to read it...

[@SuiteVII]

It must’ve FELT AMAZING being in that room!!!

[@lovenikolatesla846]

Musically gifted she plays so fluidly also thanks to her gifted husband and after we're all gone someone in the distant future will be listening to this in admiration too 🎶💜

[@daffyduck4674]

Wow! I didn’t realise she’d played outside her Ashram after the late 70’s until just before she died. Wonderful!

[@PTO_Finesse]

This soothes the soul even the background noises the person taking over all blends in like it was part of the composition.

[@SuiteVII]

You understand what "playing" means

[@St.Garoosh]

Yeah...dunno what anyone else is hearing, but that was a disaster. Sounds like Yoko Ono singing.

[@jamesgarcia7771]

That was really horrible.

[@lemurianchick]

Your comment, 'mijo? Yup. Sad, too. What are you creating in life besides negativity?
