Try to re-create that in your life. Not the exact moment or feeling, just how you got there. The mental space you where in. How you created that space. That is what I am working on. Creating space. It helps for sure. Does create more bliss, balance, love and peace for me. I just have to remember to do it and to keep it active, keep it clear.

When I read it (the first time), something snapped. Like, “Yes, that is a place I would like to live in, to experience more of, to dwell in. That space, that zone, that feeling is truth (to me). It’s a perfect place!”. When a see a pianist (like Vladimir Horowitz or Glenn Gould) playing, getting swept away by the notes, by the feeling, the sound, leaving their body, their thoughts, I can’t help but think that it is a ‘higher’ place. A level beyond the one I usually experience. But is it a choice? Could we spend more of our time in that higher place? What would life be like? If just by watching someone else spend time in that place, by ONLY watching them, hearing them, I too get taken to that place, how powerful it must be. How divine. How helpful.
