a continuum of life with lots of music in between

listen

i heard the music last night.

i was in the bathroom, taking my usual whiz before bedtime. my urine flow gently splashed the toilet water while i habitually sniffed to keep any mucus from dripping out of my nose. simultaneously, a low-pitched humming sound from the light bulbs softly resonated throughout the room.

i cannot describe what i heard as a whole, but i do know that it somehow made sense. that somehow, i heard not just a bunch of random sounds, but a work of art that transcends the theoretical, logical, and creative processes of musical composition.

and i'd thought for the longest time that the concept of "hearing the music" in August Rush was ridiculously far-fetched...or maybe i'm just crazy.

too bad this moment had to come while i was peeing. how silly!
