The past 12 months have been quite tough for me (nothing dramatic though). I did my best to keep up with the vibes but it’s been hard.
Since last June 21st, I never had the chance to take the mallets, my instrument remaining covered in my living room, holding papers or folded clothes : no time, no space, blinded by my ‘duties’.
It was last Saturday afternoon, when I suddenly realised in the middle of all the things I still had to do, that I was… alone at home. I stopped, took off the cover, found back the Miceli multicolored 46R and finaly allowed myself some real time for me.
I had in mind one of David’s courses, stating that one could/should just get back to the instrument by playing ‘free’, no specific tune, technic, scale or chord. Just playing ‘with’ the instrument. Perfect for me: no time to start a tune, or get back to something long and serious! (thanks David!).
Those were just a few minutes, but they were great. Just for the pleasure of hearing back those beautiful sounds, trying to give them ‘life’ and expression, with no shame or fear of being wrong, or being ‘judged’. Just the instrument and I… and what I was abble to share with it for this little while.
How I wish I had more time… even for those moments… It still echos inside of me…
