Harmony

061

This weekend I want to appreciate those moments in your life where everything feels like it is working in perfect harmony. In sports they call it being in the zone. You can see it when a musician really truly feels their performance and watching them looks like the notes they are playing are being ripped right from their soul. It’s tremendous to watch.

Unfortunately, I have no musical or artistic talent. I’ll never know what it’s like to draw a masterpiece or play in a band where everything just clicks and the end result is this amazing, moving thing. For me, physical exertion always felt more natural. The closest thing I have is those rare moments when I push myself to run as hard and as fast as I can for as long as I can until I just can’t go any more.

I’ve written about it before, but by no means am I runner. I’m not the fastest and I definitely can’t run the longest. But, in that moment, where I am pushing myself as hard as I can go, I am tapping in to something beautiful. Every muscle in my body is working, striving, pushing harder and harder. Every breath and every heartbeat is fueling my body to go forward. There is no room for thought, it’s one of the only times where the only thing there is room for is pure, unadulterated action. Everything fades away and all you can hear is the rush of wind in your ears as you go faster and faster.

I love those moments. I live for them. Where you feel like the maestro in the most perfect life symphony ever played. If you haven’t found your moment yet, there’s no better day than today to start looking. Appreciate that there is something out there for you just waiting to be discovered. If you’ve found your harmony, your place of solace, cherish it and always appreciate it.
