bohannon and sunada

Published on 7/5/2007

Bohannon met me at the door of his home in the posh como park neighborhood of Saint Paul. A group of kids hovered around my car keen with the notion that I was going in to see him.

“Tell Bohannon he rocks!” One yelled. I smiled. “I'll do that.”

Bohannon had just released the single, “Sunada.” Along with the B side it appeared he had been rather smitten with the teacher Sunada, whom he had met in Scotland at a private meditation retreat. I knocked and he was quick to the door.

“Pernes,” he said, “it's been a long time.”

I asked him how he's been. He paused and smiled, as if I were planning some elaborate trap.

“I was thinking,” he said, a profound sense of calm had come over his face, “of impermanence and the myth of permanence. All things are in constant motion – all living beings, all matter, all energy. Matter is, at the cellular level, giddy with motion. Everything you cling to, everything and everyone you love, everything you desire is moving and ultimately away. It will be gone and in the blink of an eye relative to the universe and the cycle of Samsara. But that is not a negative notion. In fact, there is great joy in it. For the sorrows and pain we also cling to and dwell upon will also soon be gone. And in realizing that, we come to understand that if we will all be dead soon, why quarrel? Why not spend our lives alleviating the suffering of ourselves and others and spreading lovingkindness throughout the world?”

“What? Are you some sort of B...,” I began.

“Shut up, Pernes. Shut up and think. For once.”

“May I sit?” I asked.

“Of course,” he said, “Come in, my friend.”

It was a really rather pleasant evening.
