Becoming pensive about life always puts me in a classical mood…musically, I mean. As a closet artist, I see most of my moods mirrored in art; in particular, in my choice of music and in my appreciation of others’ art.
Being in this sort of “mood” also means getting out and hitting the pavement. I’ve never been an avid runner, but something about it soothes my unfocused mind.
And so, this morning, I ran.
What goes through my mind in those moments of deep breath, achy calves and crisp, gorgeous air is befuddled. During that time I feel alone, and somewhat free, I guess, to absorb the air, the music, and my thoughts. I can’t really say in words, but it feels something like the latest SongSpot I’ve added (Allison Lovejoy’s RAVEL: Jeux d’eau). The way the time signatures dance around each other – it’s quite intriguing and very fitting.
