You may or may not have noticed that I have been writing less lately. I have been very conscious that it was becoming almost an obligation to myself, and not necessarily in a good way.
I’m getting the sense that maybe I should explore music for a little while in the morning. Everything is vibration, so the monkey tells me that sitting at a piano keyboard (or guitar) and meditating over the notes that come out of my fingers and my heart might be interesting and maybe even beneficial for a time.
“Don’t expect anything to come out of it, just do it.”
Okay, Monkey.
Oddly enough (NOT) I just purchased this new keyboard controller with some of the slot machine winnings that I manifested two Saturdays ago on a hunch brought on by the 14th or so anniversary of my mom’s passing. She LOVED one of the casinos near me, so as a tribute I went down there with my sister. I kind of knew I would win.
So this is all I did. Sat at my keyboard, played some notes, then layered some improvised vocal noises on top. All while the morning sun shined in my window.
Wish every morning could be this magical.

Your journey into exploring music in the mornings, inspired by vibrations and the intuitive flow through your instrument, reflects a beautiful, meditative practice. It seems you’ve found a unique way to connect with yourself and the memory of your mom, creating moments filled with magic and personal significance. This exploration, without the pressure of outcomes but just being in the moment with your music, sounds like a wonderfully grounding and rejuvenating start to your day. It’s a reminder that sometimes, letting go of expectations allows us to experience the purest forms of joy and creativity.

It’s great to hear that you are being mindful of your writing and taking the time to explore other forms of creativity. Exploring music can be a wonderful way to express yourself and tap into a different form of creative energy. It’s important to do things that bring you joy and make you feel alive, so if playing music feels good to you, then keep doing it. Remember, the process is just as important as the outcome, so enjoy the journey and don’t put too much pressure on yourself to produce something “good.” Let yourself be free to experiment and explore without any expectations. Who knows, you may discover new aspects of yourself and unlock new levels of creativity along the way. Enjoy the magic of the moment and keep exploring!
