Where Does the Eternal Lie? (a poem)
Where does the eternal lie?
Some things can’t be seen with the eyes,

Between endless surging waves
On undying shores of violence;
Where does the eternal lie?

Music Friday: The band OM
It’s more stoner rock for Music Friday this week. After writing for a site called Monster Riff for a bit, I’ve been digging a lot of newer rock bands. This week, I’m highlighting a band I’ve been slightly obsessed with for the past few months: OM. It’s a weird name, I know. I believe it’s supposed to be representative of the sound made during chanting meditation, as the band has written plenty of songs with spiritual and mystical themes.
