As I write today, the growing sense that a huge downpouring of every kind of calamity, disaster, depression, revolution, etc. , is but a couple of weeks away. I won’t review what we all have been experiencing… but will offer a very few thoughts on what I find interesting about it.
How is it changing our paradigm? For my part, a reflection on the power of a real and present danger to impose change on human behavior is remarkable. It truly would be amazing if we had leaders who suddenly realized the true importance of life on earth and our role in affecting and saving it. Mother Earth seems to be taking matters into her own hands. She is resilient and has a lot more eons to go. We are begging her to give us another chance. What can we give up and still live good lives?
Another thought I just had was what if we were to purposely avoid the name of the perpetrator ( even if the perp is a virus ) to lessen its greed for fame and notoriety. The strange think is that there really is a different kind of virus pushing humans to act ridiculously… 911 calls for folks who are out of TP?! Yikes.
No matter simple my playing is, I bask in the harmonic sounds and interesting rhythms of the songs in my Easy Piano Charlie Brown Collection. Vince Guaraldi’s compositions are balm to my mornings. If you choose to listen, and the first notes are jarring, be patient, it gets a bit better. For parents, of children who play music, I also encourage you to be patient. Music is the best , and we need it to grow exponentially.
