your daily rock : feel the rhythm

January 12, 2013 in Daily Rock

“Now this is very profound, what rhythm is, and goes far deeper than words. A sight, an emotion, creates this wave in the mind, long before it makes words to fit it…” –Virginia Woolf

Our lives have rhythms to them, but because we are addicted to words, we can’t feel them. What we see and touch and feel, as Virginia Woolf says, create waves in our minds—beyond words, deeper than words. Sometimes our own heartbeat is a rhythm we can’t hear.

Can you let yourself ride that wave without reducing it to words?

Love,
