When I was 8 my mother gave me a Chopin album played by Sergio Fiorentino. I fell in love then. Beautiful music. Thank you Benjamin. Namaste.

Classical, jazz, rock… I don’t care.. there is always the right music for the moment somewhere. And sometimes silence is that music too. 🙂

Silence is golden, but I agree I like many, many types of music. Everything I agree has a time and place. Like a giant beautiful puzzle.

I agree, yet the mysteries of life I find to be some of the biggest blessings. Innocent to a fault at times but I often choose to look through the eyes if a child for I’d rather see the true and pure of this world.

The eyes of a child see much more clearly than those of the adult who looks through ego, pert pressure and the lens of a complex society. Strip those away and we all have that inner child within, even when we stifle and suppress it.
I’m with you, Benjamin. A child has a sense of vision, possibility and wonder than the adult has often lost.
Second childhood may be something to look forward to, but as someone said, I’m not finished with the first one yet 🙂

Ha, yes so true. One of my goals for this next chapter is to strip away more of the complexities of this shell. Their was a conversation around a Van Gogh piece that regarded his technique as childish as to say seen though the eyes of, I to hope to see with such clarity, I’m not sure if even in my youth I’ve ever seen through those eyes. But maybe that is the point if this journey if mine.

I mentioned that in my post after hearing it in the National Gallery when standing in front of the Wheatfields with Cypress. Oh to have such eyes! I’m reading his letters a present. Even though he is a far more complex man than his paintings suggest, there is such raw passion for life there.. and beyond the ego, still the heart of a child.

So it seems, Benjamin. One of the miracles of modern life that people who may never meet can yet converse, heart to heart, across the globe. I too am thankful for that.
Namaste.

And many thanks to you. I’m still often in awe of these things as I started with the humble need to express some inner thoughts and found myself amongst so many open hearts/minds. As with yours and so many others my path has been fraught with many turns and challenges.
It’s a light in the night to have found yours.

Reblogged this on David Emeron: Reflections upon Reflections and commented:
What incredibly large ears this pianist had!!! It is said, and oft repeated, that ones ears continue to grow. I will admit mine to have rather a head start on this; however If such growth has taken place, it is dwarfed by what we see here!
This is a fine example of an unfortunate accident while making a composite photograph wherein the result is much more interesting than the one intended by the photographer or layout artist.
