Unworded Melodies

Take the words away...and feel whats left....

Have you seen a puppy react to a twig? Ever wondered why? Because no one taught them ...that it is called a TWIG...it has no idea what it is...and it wants to feel it with its own senses...so they just play with it...

Just like that take the words away from everything you see and feel whats left...would a rainbow then amuse you? Would you stop to wonder...? Are you going to call it science?  Science will explain the process...it will say, white light is separated into a spectrum of colours when sunlight passes through rainwater....but then what decides there should be only 7 colours when it happens...why not 8? 9? who decides the shades of colours contained in the white light..? Newton?? 

Take the word Bee off and then listen to the bug buzzing...would you be amused then? How does the bee know you have a flower pot in your garden...? Can you hear the flowers sending signals as it blooms..? No? Then, how would a tiny bee know? The fragrance you might say..then again...who put the fragrance in a bloom? Where did it come from...the soil?? why wouldnt a rose smell like a jasmine? Who decides they stick to their own type of fragrance? Ever wondered about it?

Now even better...Take the word LOVE away, how would you explain what you feel for someone? Can you explain LOVE? No matter how good you are with words...can you put it in words...? Does it seem enough or right??

At some point you would try expressing your feeling by hugging or kissing someone...but deep inside you are never satisfied...you will feel there's way more love that you could not possibly convey with mere words or gestures..then you stop trying and just begin to feel the love quietly....at least then it will seem a little more real. Finally you surrender to whats true...untainted by words or ideas ...simply being in a state of love...and probably a faint, helpless smile appears on your face then, for thats all you could express...wordless.. but its then real...

Just like that...take the words away from the skies...clouds...streams...leaves...trees...cars...moon....cats..colours..hills....birds and even of yourself and feel them all from within...with no names...no ideas...just feel the connection you make with everything around you...for once feel the colours...how each colour you see make you feel?... 

Take the words away, and you will see that everything around and within you merge into one whole reality which has been buried in piles and piles of nothing but words...

You may think...right now i am using words to convey my thoughts through this article but then, if you take my words here literally...then you are surely not getting the point...what you hear and feel while reading this has got nothing to do with my choice of words ....what you feel is absolutely your own truth speaking to you in a wordless language....

Take the word away from JOY...and feel your being as it is...

Take the word away from SAD...and let your self sink in for a bit....

Take the word away from ANGER and rise above it ...

simply take the words away...and breathe...

and yes...take the words away from the melodies.......and feel the music...

Come watch ...
