Senses and Reflections

Once in a while, you listen to some songs and find that it magically transport you to another realm in which experiences, memories and everything will rush in as a flood of compressed information.

That is exactly what happened to me all the time when I listen to songs. There’re no songs in particular but each song is special in its own sense.

To me, emotions evoked when we listen to songs are just an extension of one of our human senses. I am thankful that I am endowed with healthy senses; all five of them (the sixth sense is still unproven so I will leave it as it is :-P).

Certain smell, taste, sound, touch or sight will evoke a totally different experience.
Thus, we should always try to take our time to inhale deeply, taste slowly, hear carefully, touch tenderly and look closely in most if not all of the things we do.

It is simpler to write and rant than done. I have that kind of dilemma all the time as well :-P. Though, living a fuller life would be up to the individual’s terms and pre-conditions.

Life is too short to live on the fast lane for way too long. Even rats need to rest for awhile during the supposedly hectic “rat-race”.

To all, whoever and wherever you’re from:

Bonne année! Bonne chance pour tout!
Bienvenue dans une nouvelle année 2010!

p/s: Nice, meaningful songs are meant to be repeated and savoured word by word :-)
