To hear for the duration of a heartbeat the universe and the totality of life in its mysterious, innate harmony.

Hermann Hesse
About This Quote

We live in a world that has been made for humans. We are given the ability to hear that music, that symphony, that entire universe in our own heartbeat. It is only in the briefest of moments when we tune out, when we are laid back, when we are comfortable, at peace. But, when we pay attention to what is really happening around us, when we are open to what is happening inside us, then all of life’s rhythms are at our fingertips. Then, everything becomes a dance.
