The Unbearable Existance

Am I blogging too much lately? I think it's my normal summer hobby.

My favorite thing about classical music are the quiet, softly played moments. It sounds like the most graceful of wings beating in blinding sunlight. It makes me feel as if my very heart and soul is pressing against the walls of my body to be freed and closer to infinite abyss of monumental silence. It leaves me breathless, makes me feel alive.

As the music heightened and climaxed I read

The Unbearable Lightness of Being.

which questions, why is somethign considered negative? And its opposite positive?

Is there true badness in being bad?

What is betrayal and fidelity? What is it to be a woman? To respect? And what does it mean to see?

I've always wondered, How much do I really hide from myself? What do I see that truly exists? What do we hide behind our closed eyes?

What music have we refused to hear?

mmmm good questions...

"what does it mean to see?"
and
"How much do I really hide from myself?"

those sound like the kind you revisit now and again and have different answers for throughout your lifetime. they're frustrating and wonderful at the same time, no?

i've wanted to see the movie for a while but didn't know about the book. thanks for the heads up!
