MELANCHOLY MOOD
“One often calms one's grief by recounting it.” - Pierre Corneille
I am in a rather melancholy mood tonight and usually Bach is what I listen to when I feel like this. It is soothing and introspective music that helps me think and meditate.
Here is the Bach Prelude for Lute in D Minor BWV 1008, played by David Tayler on the archlute.
I have been blogging daily on this platform for several years now. It is surprising that I have persisted as the world is changing and "microblogging" is now the norm. I blog to amuse myself, make comment on current affairs, externalise some of my creativity, keep notes on things that interest me, learn something new and to surprise myself with things that I discover about this wonderful, and sometimes crazy, world we live in.
I sometimes get the impression that I am on a soapbox delivering a monologue, so your comments are welcome.
Thanks for those peaceful moments!
