The experience of life is what it is. It is just experiencing. I have found that many of us get bogged down with our daily lives, our jobs, our responsibilities, and we forget to enjoy this experience. We forget to enjoy the little moments of every single day, of every single second, and realize that there has never been a single second exactly the same as this very one and there never will be again. There is just this, here now. It is beautiful. We forget to enjoy the life we are experiencing and get worried about things that are not here. However, there are ways we can learn to be present and in the moment and enjoy our experience of the world. One way is meditation, a practice I am learning more and more about. The other is listening to music.
I have always been a lover of music and have explored many facets of the great art of putting sounds together in clever arrangements. Rock music, hip hop, jazz, electronica, pop, folk, heavy metal, avant-garde, punk. There is so much to listen to and experience. Lately, however, I have been relentless in my exploration of the classics and seeing the world accompanied with the sweet strings of a symphony or a concerto.

From the epic tour de force of Tchaikovsky's Piano Concerto 1, to the quaint subtleties of Strauss's The Blue Danube, and Beethoven's fierce and unyielding Symphony No. 9, the music of the past is filled with wondrous and poignant insights into the human experience. More than any other music, the works of the great composers strikes a great chord in my heart.
We live in a beautiful world. - Coldplay
