A kiddly divey too,
wouldn't you?

That song makes me smile. It also reminds me that my ears can't always be trusted. It's important to engage as many senses as possible as often as possible — to overlap them. This helps me to perceive the hidden notes and experience things more fully.

I went many years without. Without music. Without candles and incense. Feeling the sand and water on my skin. Eating quality food. Drinking fine wine. I wonder what I missed during that time? What was supposed to be heard that didn't get heard?

I believe the universe re-plays certain themes until we finally "get it". I must believe that. Otherwise I'd have to think of those missed opportunities as lost forever.
