Lately, I have a few musical obsessions- Especially classical music. Somedays I just set Pandora on the Yann Tiersen station, and it helps to orchestrate my day, in a way. I find classical music incredibly inspiring. It almost makes me feel like I'm in a movie, if that makes sense. And if it doesn't...then maybe I'm just crazy.
Anyway, it just makes me feel like there are no limits. The other day, I turned on my music, lit a candle, opened my window, and just enjoyed time to myself. I wrote letters to dear friends, painted, wrote several pages in my journal, and just took a moment to live in the moment. I listened to my blinds tap against my window sill along with the gusts of wind, I watched the shadow of my candle flickering on my ceiling, I listened carefully to the sound of my typewriter. I enjoyed the warmth of my black coffee with a tad bit of soymilk, I smelled the sweet aroma of autumn flow through my window. I tried my hardest to stop thinking-to just feel. And right there, on the floor of my room while looking around at all of my unfinished projects, I found inner peace. Because in that very moment, everything was just right.
It really is the little things in life that bring glimmers of joy to even the saddest of souls.
