Annie Jennings gave me this brilliant idea yesterday at one of her tele seminars. <BR/><BR/>I am definitely one who stops and listens to any real live person anywhere. If they are giving me music I cherish every note--unless it is disharmonious.<BR/><BR/>Here in Philadelphia I have taken repeated note of how many people pass by a double blossom, bright pink, cherry tree in full bloom. WOW! Do they POP!<BR/><BR/>I am standing there in rapture soaking up the healthy energy, while everyone else with their heads two feet in front of their body rush by. Sometimes I smile at them and ask them to appreciate my cherry tree. And sometimes they do.<BR/><BR/>Well to end this post I have to find your book, POP! the Art and Science of Being One of a Kind and start using it again to help me. I have not seen your book since I did my own taxes this year. Could I have filed it away with the bills? <BR/><BR/>What 2-3 words can I use to POP! out at people? <BR/><BR/>Those of us who are like children and have healthy flowing energy are not always on track!! We do get lost in the music, colors and love of life. Not a bad place to live.Dr. Doris Jeanettehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05632169639848722284noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21996943.post-79130499349795441492007-04-07T20:11:00.000-07:002007-04-07T20:11:00.000-07:00Excellent article, Sam.

It has nothing to do with a lack of appreciation for Bell's remarkable talent. It has everything to do with the relevance of the music. In other words, time and place, to my way of thinking, are important conditions of relevance.<BR/><BR/>Many of us think of music, especially classical violin music, as something that is to be enjoyed, (even requiring concentration), rather than "background music," which is essentially what this experiment relegated Bell to. In an environment created for the very purpose of moving people along quickly, it seems incongruent to stop and listen to a lone musician, regardless of his skill. <BR/><BR/>We've become a nation of podheads, constantly hearing music, but rarely ever really listening. I would have been shocked had the results been different, quite frankly.<BR/><BR/>Isn't it fascinating - and wonderful - that children want to stop and listen BECAUSE of the incongruence, while adults FAILED to stop for exactly the same reason!Marilynn Mobleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17219506847862696950noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21996943.post-76467120667222826782007-04-07T15:53:00.000-07:002007-04-07T15:53:00.000-07:00Thank you for pointing about this article.

I'd like to think so, but I probably wouldn't. <BR/><BR/>Indeed, just last week there was what I thought was a good violinist playing in the Toronto subway.<BR/><BR/>I looked over briefly...but walked on.<BR/><BR/>Next time, I'll stop. The article made me think about the importance of mindfulness.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09529096288390466882noreply@blogger.com
