I find my lack of inner profundity, and embrace it

[gurdonark]

In a busy, productive day, I pause briefly to note with the sort of chagrin that turns into religious consolation that the true measure of anyone's life is which music seems relevant on a hectic day.

My boom box in my office today accompanies a variety of briefs, e mails and calls with the synthpop band The Buggles.
I do not know why seemingly random lyrics like "living in the plastic age", "video killed the radio star" and "elstree--remember me" resonate for me, but it is not mine to question the Mystic, but instead it is my calling merely to embrace it.

whatever melodies, tunes or whatever keeps one clicking along in their daily routine is all that matters. i listen to dylan, joplin, or opera (of which i don't understand the words) a lot, but it keeps me going--quite happily, i may add. the words do filter through at times and i stop to ponder the meanings. i guess it is a mental state of relaxation and productivity.

Yes, I think that's what matters...that mental state of relaxation and productivity. It's just quirky which pieces induce it....
