Liner Notes

Soundscape #128: “Where Do We Go From Here?”

Most of us are used to seeing the world through our own eyes and getting out of our skins can be a very tricky business indeed. I always have a problem, for example, with perspectives. Intellectually, I know that things are the way they are but I can’t help feeling differently about them under different circumstances. I find it hard to absorb that the thing itself did not actually change; it was I who did.

Gordes, March 2009.

Maybe things will be easier if we remember that. So many times we get upset with a situation or a person just because we thought things are going a certain way when it may not necessarily be the case. How much simpler things will be if we just remember that we can’t always be right!
