Jazz and Rain



How are you feeling?

Do you ever get asked this question, and you are just not really sure the answer? You may say fine, but you are not really. Or you may say "hanging in there" but you don't really feel stressed or overwhelmed?

Often times I don't really know how I'm feeling, and words possibly can't describe it.

I think things like Jazz and Rain describe feelings where words may not have an answer.

Right now I'm sitting back in my apartment listening to "Dave Brubeck's Greatest Hits" on Vinyl, watching the rain and quiet lightning outside my window. It definitely puts me in a pensive and reflective mood. It definitely does a great job evoking the unexplained feelings I may have.

For an introverted person, or maybe in us all, I think that we need to take the time to listen and not talk, be still amidst busyness, and reflect not react.
