Seems that I don't have to arrange the things in my life any longer. As they, the life stuff, have their own minds. Maybe it is just my impression, but you will see right now what I am talking about.
Just around a week ago, I set myself a challenge, that one with the deadline at the end of the year. {About my progress in that field, I feel I have to inform you in a separate post, about how I am doing and what I was able to achieve in one week. Though I do have to mention that I am studying at the moment, with consistency}.
So, it happened yesterday that my left elbow had a close encounter with the sliding kitchen door. It was not on my wishlist or plans, I didn't want that to happen. You see now, these unexpected and unwanted life things come when they desire it. They listen to their own minds hahaha. It was painful. I felt dizzy and had to sit and wait to get better. The bad moments passed, I felt ok to continue with my daily tasks, and shopping was there also. By the time of packing the items in the shopping bags, I felt less power in my left arm and general pain through the whole forearm, down to the wrist, which started to hurt more than the elbow.
My daily routine had to be interrupted. Piano - it was not possible to do my study session yesterday. I took a painkiller to be able to hold my arm and wrist without a lot of complaining. And I had to go to work too. I am better today, but I still feel the painful wrist a bit so I took a day of pause from Rachmaninoff. The things (even a painful one) arranged for me time for a new activity - chill out and finish the reading of a book I started so many months ago. I let it aside, twice. Last week I get to read it again and I am only two chapters away from the end. Finally, I can finish it. And I am doing it right now (well, in between I am writing these lines too, haha, never enough just one activity lol) accompanied by some beautiful sounds coming from Hania Rani, an artist I already brought once to Hive in a post with a different track.
Btw, did you notice these two nice photos of books? In my opinion, they are cool and can add to my story with their presence. I didn't take these photos though. I am using them in my post from stock images community, more precisely the author of them is 
Back to my book, reading and the music I am listening to. It is an album by Hania Rani. In case you want to listen to the same music I am doing right now, press the play button of the video, or if you prefer listening to it through Spotify, be kind to click here for the full album.
This album of Hania consists just of instrumental tracks (with some vocalizations in the third and seventh track), composed for some documentaries, films and theatre. Listening to the first track, Prayer, I have the feeling that the music is coming from another world or dimension. She doesn't use the piano in it just some electronic harmonic sounds. I could not describe it better, as I am not sure how she obtained those sounds. The second track, titled In Between is already played by the instrument so well known by me. It is combined with those harmonies again, but I clearly hear the piano in the first place.
As the album is progressing, it is getting more and more interesting. Some of my favourite ones are those from the middle until the end of the album, hearing deep strings (violins and cellos) - like in the tracks Wildfires and Ghosts. Soleil Pale is maybe my definite favourite, both the music and video. I say maybe, as the "competition" is strong, all the songs are so honest and sensual. So close to my heart already.
As the book I will finish in two chapters is close to me too. Somehow I know I will miss it when I reach the last page. Not everyone would like to read this serial killer stuff... but it is his final cut, as the title says. {I don't want it to be the final one}. Ok, I can read it again if the life thingies decide to surprise me many times with their own plans and give me arm ache and force me to chill out and read & listen to some beautiful sounds that can caress my soul.
In case anyone opens the album and listens to the tracks... Did these tracks say you something? Did they inspire you? Would you do the same in case you are self-forced to take a break, read and enjoy music? Maybe there is some other activity you like to do when you feel some pain, physical or from other nature? I mean, it is also a surprise for me that I force myself to chill out and not push myself into some new work. If you like, you can share with us your experience on this topic.
