Story Time: In the ancient peaks of Toriyama, where the wind moves like a dancer across sheer cliff faces, there lies a path known to only a few. It is the Ochiba Path, a long, winding trail set in red stone, twisting through jagged rocks and up steep slopes, leading to the high sanctuary of a deity whose influence spans generations. At the path’s end, elevated in solemn grandeur, is the immense stone visage of the goddess Hikari. Her head emerges from the mountain’s edge, her eyes closed in eternal meditation, a calmness about her that no stone could capture without reverence. Her face is serene, ageless, and softened by centuries of mist and rain. A sacred symbol, the crest of her ancestors, is etched into her forehead-a delicate yet unbreakable mark linking her to the ancestral lines that first taught the mountain dwellers of meditation, inner peace, and resilience. Long ago, in an era when warfare swept the lands below like fire across dry fields, Hikari walked among the people. She traveled from village to village, crossing rivers and barren plains, to spread an ancient, transformative meditation she had devised. Her presence was not grand or overpowering but humbling, her aura emanating a profound calm that quieted both warriors and refugees alike. She taught them to close their eyes and look inward, to find in themselves a fortress that no external violence could breach. Through her teachings, people found refuge from the pain that war had wrought upon their lives and spirits. Wounded soldiers healed their inner turmoil; grieving mothers and orphaned children learned to breathe through sorrow. Hikari’s meditation was not merely an escape but a liberation, a way to confront inner suffering until it melted away into peace. Centuries later, with the wars long faded into history, her practice endured, woven into the fabric of daily life. It was as if Hikari’s calmness had seeped into the earth itself, saturating every rock, every river, and every shadow cast by the trees. In her honor, the people built this statue high in the mountains above the revered temple of Kasumi, where incense drifts like low clouds and prayers fill the air like whispers. Those who climb the Ochiba Path do so not merely to honor Hikari but to immerse themselves in the quiet that surrounds her, a quiet that sinks into the bones, cleansing them of worldly burdens. When the wind dies down, a profound silence envelops the mountain, thick and all-encompassing. The stone face of Hikari gazes over the clouds, a quiet sentinel that has witnessed countless sunsets and storms. Travelers say that in these rare moments of perfect stillness, Hikari’s presence can be felt with startling clarity. And in that hushed atmosphere, it’s as if she is there, holding them in the same calm she once bestowed upon the living. And those who leave are never quite the same; touched by her presence, they descend the Ochiba Path, carrying with them a silence deeper than words, a silence that echoes Hikari’s spirit-eternal, unwavering, and timeless as the mountain itself.

Que sepas que este es de los mejores que te he escuchado. O quizá el mejor. ¿Porque? Hoy lo he escuchado mientras dormía. Es suave y no hay saltos de sonido. La especialidad que creas te mete de lleno en una ubicación abstracta sugerente y emotiva. Felicidades por tu trabajo. Te lo dice alguien que tiene un modesto canal de música ambiental. 🥂
