Ravel was composing movie soundtracks before movies did, like one who writes music for instruments that don't yet exist. If the soul cannot think without action, then classical music is its reflection.

This week I messaged my ex with the same two lines I spoke to her on the day we met, and perhaps it's fitting to end things the same way in which they began, or perhaps we could simply start over? They say in love there are no rules, sweetheart. I honestly don't know where to go from here, is there a way forward for the two of us, sometimes it is only in silence that one finds the words to say, and the feelings that sunk deep find clear waters and shine forth in the light of day.

Listening to Haydn Symphony No. 26 in Dminor "Lamentatione"
It
really is true what they say: Laugh and the world laughs with you, cry
and you cry alone. But I have found even in my moments of deepest
despair that one becomes attuned to a different voice, perhaps it is not
the voice of the world but the voice of history, for history is always
with us, dancing in our blood, singing through our bones, and truly I
say, we are never really alone.
