Summary
We each choose how to listen to the sounds of our life. Have you heard of that saying... If a tree falls in the wood... And no one hears it fall... Does it make a sound? Today I talk about how we choose how to internalise sounds. The amazing composer John Cage who composed 4.33 says "If something is boring after two minutes, try it for four. If still boring, then eight. Then sixteen. Then thirty-two. Eventually one discovers that it is not boring at all."
― John Cage. Sound by itself is merely sound we choose what meaning to give it. This one today is very close to my heart. I do hope that you enjoy it. Please listen to the following You tube video. Today I talk about one of my personal experiences with sound and how we can choose the meaning of sound and by doing so we can choose the meaning of our lives. Hope you're all well Love Lauren aka the whispering mother
