[Philosophical Musing]
Planning to read Monstrous Regiment by Terry Pratchett
and watch the first fifteen episodes of Nodame Cantabile
at night in the Kruger Park when the animals are asleep
and I’m awake and cannot go out next to the river where
hippos and crocodiles are keeping watch, getting ready I
started watching Chiaki and Nodame making music with
Stresemann playing Beethoven’s Seventh Symphony &
started reading Monstrous Regiment already, Polly and
her friends, especially Igor & Maladict, & Captain Jackrum
have already charmed me to such an extent I can’t see out
of my eyes: putting these joyous things away I must first
face this day, pack my bags and plan in which way we
Shall have our meals, making sure to think of the animals
during daytime and keep mental joy for the nights - I love
the visual delight which does not touch the mind and then
afterwards, to be filled with music and stories - as a child
I used to commiserate with the animals believing their lives
boring without self-consciousness and stories, feeling alone
In an unfeeling universe, then I discovered spiritual theories
that even a nail is alive with some form of consciousness &
animals enjoy the privilege and excitement of existence, & I
really started to live also - although I still need to fill my mind
with more than visual perception I know the universe is much
bigger than the one-sided sensory world - and though I love
What I see with my eyes, I adore what I hear & feel even more!
