Blog post #63 - Monday Morning Moment

Love this bit of brilliance from my friend Emma O'Brien. Thanks darling.
Yesterday I got in quite a tizz about something inconsequential. I do that. A lot!!!
Lucky for me I have a little project on the go which requires me to listen to a piece of music and write about it as I’m listening.
So, I stuck my earbuds in and popped Schubert’s “Grand Duo” Violin Sonata in them and tapped away, hearing all the ins and outs of it, finding pictures and feelings, jotting it all down. (Probably would be better actually writing, you know with pen and paper?)
When it finished, I felt an extraordinary calm and got on with my day.
I’m useless at meditation.
Empty my brain? 🤣  Me? You must be joking!

But I inadvertently found my version of meditation. I’m going to call it “Constructive Contemplation.”

In our family, you didn’t talk when music was being played. So I’m used to listening to music, even the long-winded stuff, but it was the writing about it that held me with Schubert’s wit and whimsy for the full twenty minutes.
Just sharing that little story this morning to cheer your heart if it needs it.
You’re welcome to try it yourself and let me know how that goes for you.
Have a fabulous week my lovelies.
Love to you all. Kxx
