Wonder
Led Zeppelin's Kashmir, there is such an operatic arrangement, and the repetitions of the same melodic note takes it up where it can take you away. Music came to us, when we found the rhythm, the repetition which sooth our psyche like a lullaby.
What is the essence of beauty and how it transcends to utilities of pleasure, waking the senses and stimulating all the electric currents in us. and Pleasure , the euphoric sense of well being, the climatic reaching of nerve endings, the illusions of love and intimacy, all and all with the turn of a key.
Recently sent a piece of my writing to a friend. -I am lit. I like the piece since it has an urgency to it. it takes you away
and the response I got from her was very interesting. She wanted to know the Culprit, she wanted to know the inspirstion
how I had come to such boil and found such words , what was inside the conductors mind that set the orchestra on fire.
her curiosity was so intriguing and fresh, bold and intimate.....................
Its the curiosity, the elusive ingredient that leads us here. its the satisfying sense of knowing and learning, and the urgent need for more. The golden rays that brought the light and how it disappeared in darkness it left. the wetness of rain, the feel of sand and the thrilling greens and reds and oranges of the woods. The sky that went for ever and a horizon boundless. Such a discovery outside of our being, and then inside, physical, mental, the borders of the psyche and the necessity of dreams. We had so much to know and the perception of what is to discover is so thrilling.
There is a calming sense in me, growing, a quiet of sort. I was watching him struggling. moving his legs , he was dreaming. a dream induced by the lack of some mineral in his blood. He shook his head mumbling , I gently put my hand on his arm and woke him up; "you are dreaming " I said, trying to sound reassuring. "monsters, there were monsters" he mumbled.........a good rest, so elusive, I thought.
I can still hear Kashmir in my head. its a pleasure to find it, and to be awed by it. I think I was born yesterday and today has been such a discovery and I think only if I could keep my sense of wonder......................
