music is beauty

the ancient Greeks used to say that our capacity to remember things is a way to escape time. indeed, it is memories that we all carry, and they are building blocks of who we are today. this you cannot escape. the you in marriage, the kids that were once yours, the money you spent, everything you had and no longer (physically) possess. the physics, the chemistry, the mechanics of it all, in tiny cells that populate your mind and heart. the wealthy savor of past, present and future all in one, in you. because this is who you are and the seeds of all you can be. the times you began, the times you never ended and the times that will begin. i was 28 when i first wished for health and nothing more in my life and that is the truth. because we always want more even if we do not need half of it. is it human nature, i have no clue about that ...

what i know is there is beauty. inside and outside each cave. not in the shades projected onto the walls and not in the seeking of new promises. but in you. in your eyes and beyond. in a new tomorrow, that will be born even without your diligence and despite all your impatience. in the jobs you will have, the kids you will choose to care for and the friends you will share some of your thoughts with. because time is like weight, we keep losing it, but it keeps finding us. I guess the ancient Greeks were wrong, after all. but who am I to be right ...

since beauty is available in greater amount than time, let's toast to music today !
