On A Lighter Note, etc.

Here's a funny passage about music from one of my students:

"Music, like a breeze, blow softly across your body, to relax every part of your body. If you laid yourself on the bed or chair, with your eyes gazing at the sky blue stage and listening to Canon (a piece of music produced by Pathbel), you'll feel yourself like the clouds, drifting in the sky and feeling the breezes of love, the warmth of compassion. In the moment, you're not simply human. You're more than a human. You're an elf of the sky and gradually melting yourself in the atmosphere."


In China, you don't just get warnings about dangerous activities; you also get advice on interpersonal communication.
