There are few pieces of music who can move me in the way this piece does.
It is simply beyond words what music like this can do to you if you simply have something inside that it can awaken.
And this piece can remind you of everything, from grief to love, from beauty to despair, from a beautiful moment to heartbreaking memories, it all depends on you.
It's in your heart, and it knows how to awaken its core. This piece has moved me in very different ways throughout the years and it has also been part of incredible works of art like the movie "Arrival", it even inspired me to write a short story.
Today it makes me think of suffering, disease, the insanity of the world and the handling of the pandemic, the victims and their loved ones, it makes me think of many different things, all of them very tough.
It is yet very valuable to be able to find beauty in the middle of the greatest suffering, it is precious to be able to deeply feel compassion for every being in this planet and connect with them on the basis of solidarity and love, it is truly valuable to find hope among all the difficulties and remind yourself that like everything else, this too shall pass.
Patience, like the stable harmony of this beautiful peace, must be constant and relentless.
Hope, like the beauty of this piece, must be inextinguishable. Love prevails, beyond time and pains, beyond bodies and lives. So remind yourself what you love and remind your heart that that which it loves is this infinite force that goes beyond every barrier and every limitation. Remind yourself this and you'll be well, and so everyone around you.
And listen to this beautiful piece, really open your heart to it.
