I heard someone say about the piano, that when playing the music of the Masters, since we have no idea what they went through to write the music, we need to add our own suffering and passions to the notes or they just won’t work.
While the Masters expressed themselves in between the notes and staves, we look into our vocabulary to do the same.
I heard it again on national television last evening…….’if it sounds too good to be true, then it is.’ The announcer even said it like…”If it sounds too good to be true………” and left the last part for the audience to fill in….before he finished it himself, affirming that everyone already knew the full phrase. He said it as he nodded his head….knowingly….which is supposedly to denote some kind of wisdom, I am assuming.
I believe another variation might be “Get real!” or is it something like, “Dumb down!” or “Live small!” or maybe, “Careful! You might get hurt!”
It is usually said in retrospect….after the final results of some issue are in.

Watching a television interviewer refer to his program as having a ‘faith-based’ perspective made me think about what it is I separate from ‘faith.’ Of course, he was referring to the idea that his religion required a certain amount of faith…I guess because the object of his faith was keeping hidden. According to the television, keeping stuff hidden was meant to test that faith, with certain rewards or punishments meted out for doing or not doing so.
I’m going to sound a bit like that TV guy here…and I noticed a few things.
Walking along the beach, I noticed a female shape in front of me that made my heart race! It’s her! Then as I got nearer, nope, someone else. Good thing too, because my mind blanked out, except for a couple cheap “Hi, how are you?” phrases.
My thoughts went back to the day I answered an ad…structural integration, it was called….that I saw posted in a Health Store.
I could try to censor these immediate thoughts and yet there is something about ‘flow’….and seeing what gets uncovered by just observing that past, as it pushes itself into the ‘now‘!
……so, I remember going for my appointment…
