Rhythms

Every piece of music has its very own rhythm, its very own lyrics and its very own messages to be delivered. We may fall in love with the simplest piece, as long as it is able to attract our attention, to capture our feelings on that moment, to express ourselves better, depending on individuals. Similar to us having a different pace from one to another, the rhythm plays a vital role in deciding the future of that very song, whether it would touch the hearts of many or simply, irritating. Our lives too have their very own music, which may changes from time to time according to the situations we are currently facing. Say, we may be humming an unknown rhythm, something we created on our own or maybe, the combination of several pieces of music, where each is unique and limited. Why are we trying so hard to create the exact same piece as others, to time ourselves in competing with the rest of the world, when we know we can never achieve the so called ‘cloning’ among us? This is a question and yet, a phenomenon in our current society. To search for the music in us, we first look into our hearts; to recognize our own rhythm, we first observe ourselves rather than others. Appreciate the people we love, cherish the happy moments we have, treasure every single day we live and use the time we have wise. In our very own pace, we walk down the journey of life while observing the beauty in Nature, in mankind; with our very own rhythms, we sing to ourselves, to the others, to the world.
