A moment

Improvisation #389

A moment

Listening to music is a meditation

Meditation is to reach awareness
Of the only existing time
The everlasting presence
The eternal now
The only time
That always was, is and will be
Where past, presence and future
Are the same one

When we touch that moment
We become alive & exalted
Joy, praise & energy
Are there
In the moment we touch

When we stop thinking
Ruminating
Talking to ourselves
When we become quiet
And listen
With peace in our spirit
And only let the moment happen

Then
Only then
Our being starts vibrating
On the frequencies of the music

For music is a collection of vibrations
A collection of ideas
Rich and poor, altogether
We get the ideas
Rich and poor, altogether

Music is a batch of energy
We get the energy

Music is a dance of harmonies & progressions
We start to dance
In harmonies & progressions

The soul starts dancing
On the rhythms of the music

Music is a language
The transmission of knowledge
Culture and history
And series of experiences

When the heart hears
We get to its essence

Music has a source, an origin
Music has a purpose, a destination
The music is also in between both
The way, the path

And just like life
When it reaches destination
It starts all over again

Hallelu Yah
