For me silence is not the absence of sound, or the stillness
of the mind.
It is the opening to the natural stream of well-being, a
state of peace and harmony.
Sometimes I find this in traditional stillness, often I find
this through music.
I was thinking about how much I appreciate music:
Being able to find a song that matches my mood in 10 seconds
on my phone
My favourite radio station Digitally Imported, for uplifting
vocal trance
Going epic clubbing in Buenos Aires, with sweat, beats and
smiles
How music and rhythm are part of every culture and religion
Listening to Chris Martin sing 'Fix You' live to an ecstatic
audience
Cruising along the road to a great soundtrack and throbbing
engine sound
Making out to a powerful song – loud
Hearing the acoustic version of Why Does My Heart Feel So
Bad?
For the first time on a beach in Thailand
The depth, precision and clarity of a high-end sound system
Opening my canopy at 12 000 feet on a sunset jump, and
loading a song
How music is effectively used in enhancing the movie
experience
Headphones, for making music portable and accessible
everywhere
The emotions that music wakes up in people – universally
While running, being pleasantly surprised by a new playlist
Low background music setting the ambience in a restaurant of
café
Someone playing the guitar by a bonfire
And since everything is vibration and energy – that we are
in a way a musical piece of art.
