A moment to let my mind rest
and sleep
Instruments are, arguably, the greatest invention humankind has ever created.
Fire is natural, so I don't count it.
And wheels? I'd rather have a couple bongo drums than a wheel.
Technology? Nah, give me my uke.
Books....Ah. Now that is different... But again, mostly natural. So does it count? I mean, storytelling is somehow built into humanity as it is--can we really consider the simple act of storing these pieces of human mind as a creation by humans? The stories are a creation, obviously, and books are beautiful in and of themselves. But is that because they are pretty? Or because their insides are gorgeous?
And, after all, aren't stories told through music, too?
Instruments, therefore, help us to keep our most human quality--the need to connect.
...what a stunning thing the brain is...
