Turn Off Chopin

I turned of Chopin to hear my husband snore. I have become acutely aware of life recently. Life is very fragile. The Will to live is strong, the desire to keep living beings living is strong, yet the whole system is weak. Our bodies are weak, our understanding is weak, our world is weak. We are but an ant colony at the mercy of something bigger.

Chopin is lovely but hearing my husband snore is better. This means I hear his life. I can witness his being and I want to be present to his life being as much and as deeply as I can. Chopin can wait because Chopin will still be hear long after the snores have disappeared from my bedroom pillow.
