Musings triggered by my i-phone

An iPhone is a clear multi-tasking device. It has many functions - you can make calls, receive calls, text, listen to music, record stuff, browse the web, get your email, send email, and so on ... much like man in urban, corporate settings these days ...

Personally, what I have come to like the best about my iphone is the amount of music I get to hear these days - all I need is a good quality earphones-set, a decent collection of music (and I am at decent to the power of many) and I am all set ...

As I adjust my headset, and start my walk, I wonder what is happening to man's capability to create and listen deeply to his inner music, even as he is caught in his multi-tasking in the world "out there" ... This inner music that you and I both have and share - is a deep and perennial flow ... no beginning, no end ... but one can easily step into this stream, flow with it, even be the stream ... yet we often mute this music ... our eyes get magnetically drawn to the text that has just come in, the email composed in the head, the call waiting to be made, the calendar to be sync-ed, the alarm to be set, the this, and then the that

What does it take for our capacity to generate our inner music, to come to the forefront ? Why do dreams disappear at the mildest tinge of dawn like wisps of smoke in a breeze ?

true. to just listen to our heart perhaps needs a kind of noiselessness that we don't give to ourselves. good post.

Very interesting. I liken "inner music" to Mojo.....get hold of the book "Mojo" by Marshall Goldsmith. He has dissected Mojo quite well....very interesting read....On another note, I seem to have a different problem....Can there be some of us who are too deeply absorbed in our inner music...sometimes so much that I "cannot hear" the external noise...or to put it differently a lot of the external world seems mere noise to me, cause my frequency is beautifully tuned to my inner music....
