It starts slowly and then builds and builds.<\/p>\n
Pick it apart slowly, really, really, listen.<\/p>\n
Let it lull you into a state of pure peace.<\/p>\n
Forget the skyscrapers, the mountains, the monuments.<\/p>\n
Forget it all because, in this blissful moment, it is just you.<\/p>\n
There is nothing bigger than you, nothing smaller.<\/p>\n
Everything is one, striding along melodiously.<\/p>\n
With each change in notes, feel you, yes you, change.<\/p>\n
You roll down a hill, the sun dipping low on the horizon.<\/p>\n
Your giggles can’t be tamed, the dry grass in your hair frames your face.<\/p>\n
No worries.<\/p>\n
In this moment, everything is okay.<\/p>\n
Tears fill your eyes, and sobs spill from your lips.<\/p>\n
Holding yourself tight, a crescendo of emotion.<\/p>\n
And the song starts again.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
