What if… Just imagine…

"I try to listen attentively to musical sounds around me. You can think of the sounds of daily life as being musical. So I try to absorb the intricacies of the sounds as I would if I were listening to a piece of music. I try to see the beauty in everything." - Tom Harrell

What if the ever-so-beautiful sky were not faint blue and did not have light shades of mauve-coloured water-vapour? What if the dim silhouette of the sleepy house were to disappear. Ladies and gentlemen, I present you:

Blankness. Complete blankness.

I do not take life for granted; I appreciate the beauties of nature - the roars of the oceans, the echoes of the mountains. The air we breathe is precious. The water we drink is, ideally, luscious.

blessed1 has posted a challenge to all bloggers - yes, every single one of you - to “post what you’re thankful for each day for 7 whole days”. This doesn’t have to be religion-based or anything. As a human being living on this fragile planet of ours, we must be considerate and grateful in order to fully appreciate our everyday life.

Here’s a little something to conclude our thoughts:
