05/26/10My favorite musicI would like to share this favorite artist of mine - Imee Ooi. I first heard the Chant of Metta way back when at the East West Bookstore in Mountain View and immediately liked it. I could listen to this music for hours. It helps me relax and dream and focus at the same time. I hope it will become your favorite as well! Posted at 12:00 AM | Permalink |
