It moves me in a way nothing else has really been able to do yet. I mean some things have come close, but music is still what does the most for me. I get to block out the sounds of the world and listen to whatever suits my fancy. It motivates me when I need it too and can facilitate and enhance whatever mood I’m already in too. I love it! Without music I don’t know what I would do
It just makes good sense to be satisfied and at peace with yourself and others, and to enjoy life now.
I want to live somewhere that has this kind of scenery. Away from all the hustle and bustle of everyday life. Where I can wake up and wander around everyday and still be amazed at all that is around me instead of thinking, “Great, what shit do I have to deal with today”.
I have so many things that I want to say, to share, to do, but I always get real close to expressing it or doing it and then I forget all of it, I fricken hate that.
One day some people came to the master
and asked: How can you be happy
in a world of such impermanence,
where you cannot protect your loved ones
from harm, illness or death?
The master held up a glass and said:
Someone gave me this glass;
It holds my water admirably
and it glistens in the sunlight.
I touch it and it rings!
One day the wind
may blow it off the shelf,
or my elbow
may knock it from the table.
I know this glass is already broken,
so I enjoy it — incredibly.
