We all make different attachments to what truly nourishes our soul...for me truly poetic , soulful music is one of them...:) I love playing these songs, and imagining calm moments in a villa i love, with filtering soft afternoon light, the lovely sights & sweet scents of flowers, the tangy scent of exotic flora near. ..the pretty wabi sabi like hues of classical portico architecture within the grounds..a dance within a fountain and its dreamy calming water song....the romantic calm of dreams, romance, existing.....i imagine i am painting, or having tea or cappuccino, or playing with flowers, or making floating, fluttering figurines out of paper with my daughter...i imagine & feel true happiness....in these imaginings i am complete, floating, there is such joy....

The Classic of Poetry, also Shijing or Shih-ching, translated variously as the Book of Songs, Book of Odes, or simply known as the Odes or Poetry(Chinese: 詩; pinyin: Shī) is the oldest existing collection of Chinese poetry, comprising 305 works dating from the 11th to 7th centuries BC. It is one of the "Five Classics" traditionally said to have been compiled by Confucius, and has been studied and memorized by scholars in China and neighboring countries over two millennia
