Rejuvenation through art

How to be still without being surrounded by stillness?

I found my answer while going to theatre. The place that is fascinating enough to stop me from thinking but still being lively. The play was following a simple plot, having as central characters a dysfunctional Jewish couple. It was a play about hopes, jealousy, love, addiction, assumptions and societal norms. I blend with the story and drama and end up highly fascinated. Maybe because of the actors or the fact that I was sitting on the stage or maybe because of the intimate atmosphere. But it’s irrelevant when I compare with what I felt then and now. It’s a great escape from the noise in my head!

And not the only one… as I found a second choice that has the same effect on me: a jazz concert. I got the chance to hear an amazing voice, Luiza Zan, in a live concert that inspired me. Her message was so simple and humble that took me by surprise. No stupid glamour, just talent!

It remind me of the lyrics from a song that is obsessing me: Music Matters (Faithless).

For all those who stood up and were counted

For all those for whom money was no motive

For all those for whom music was a message

I want to thank you

For making me

A little more sure

A little more wise

And courageous

You told me to look much further

You told me to walk much more

You told me that music matters

PS: Thank Mo for sharing with me these experiences!
