Music When their leaves have fallen the winter trees turn into musical instruments, instruments ringing out at the wind's fingertips following the notes hanging in the sky. And not only trees. Listen to the streams in the valleys. Water bouncing off rocks as it flows echoing under sheets of ice is music too. The tree where high notes ring from high branches low notes from low branches is a stringed instrument, the valley where loud notes ring from big rocks quiet notes from small rocks is a wind instrument, On a day like today when snow has fallen white over the world, the image of the one we yearn for effaced, I want to listen to music leaning here beside my window.
Emotions come through the ear rather than the eye, winter is a rainbow emerging through hearing.
Only one who has experienced sorrow knows that water can also burst into flames. Only look at the crimson blaze rising from the horizon on a summer's day beside the sea at sunset. It's as if it is so sad about something that it has wept until its eyes are red. If we say that love is light rising as fire, sorrow is light rising as water, and tears rising gently in the eyes make the darkness bright. God's space up there, eager to stop up with light the void of the Absolute, while I try to fill it with words.
