isn't it paralyzingly beautiful...
So I've been doing some "soul searching" these days and it's gotten me really excited! I've been realizing that I am sincerely happy and at peace with my current "status" (this is in regards to dating)
Disclaimer: I'm not projecting my values and/or timeline onto anyone else. To each his own :)
It's just been a time of self-discovery and I'm content that I've been doing it by myself and for myself...and you know what, I usually feel bad talking about myself this much, but this time...I don't care! Me Me Me Me…(what a narcissist!) haha.
So you may be wondering what elicited all this rambling about 'self-truth.' Well I noticed the other day something small yet profound about myself, as you all know I'm crazy about music, and I usually have strong opinions about what I choose to listen to and give my stamp of approval. So when I realized that I’ll fall in love with anything with an amazing beat 'I can set my heart to'...I'm done for it. Then I realized this isn't as big of a deal that I'm making it out to be but it spreads through other areas of my melodic choices and life.
As a therapist I play classical music for my patients and I usually just drown out the music because I hear it over and over all day. But I’ve been playing this one CD as of late (a Classical Mixtape) and I realized that the only songs I ‘drown out’ are songs that are composed predominantly with stringed instruments. It may be over played but my favorite classical song…maybe all time song, is Claire De Lune by Claude DeBussy. Obviously it’s been re-recorded with every possible combination of instruments but I love the original and simple piano recording. I love the deeper tones richer melodies pianos, organs, and drums produce.
Well, just thought I’d share. Do you have any recently discovered self-truths?

ReplyDeleteAs for my "self truths" (some of which I think I already shared with you) these are the ones I recently have.....accepted.
1. Feet are not that bad (im KINDA starting to like them)
2. Its ok for me to express emotions (but I still will choose not too)
3. Even though I am....."odd", does not mean its a bad thing
4. And my breath sometimes smells bad. I Promise I will Work on this! Sorry if I put any of you in slight Commas!
Also I will take any open criticism, for self improvement. If you all will be so kind to offer. Good Post Sotomayer, and see I do read these things...sometimes (BOOM in your face)
I like these self-truths. And I like this Debussy guy. If I remember my music appreciation class correctly, he was one of the first impressionists in music. I just want to sent in a cafe on a rainy Sunday afternoon and listen to someone play this live.
ReplyDeleteI hold these truths to be self evident:
ReplyDeleteThe only thing more beautiful than life is a life well lived.
The only thing more sacred than gaining trust is having kept it.
The only thing more amazing than love is the ability to say you have loved and survived.
It has taken me 25 years to learn that... I have not learned nearly as much as I though I would have and... that's ok :) Here's to the next 25 years!!!
I just want to comment on Debussy, if that's ok :)
ReplyDeleteDebussy is like musical Monet. He gives the impression of the melody, but without hard edges and every note is soft, like a soft brushstroke on an impressionist painting. I love it. That piece is one of my all time favorites too. Have you heard his piece Arabesque No. 1? It's also incredible.
And I agree with piano renditions over instrumentals. I prefer that a million times more than instrumentals. (sorry I know Stephan probably won't appreciate that haha)
