But I moan less and live more. Why? Because I have managed to adapt my body, my soul, my intentions and expectations to the season. I no longer <em>oppose<\/em> what nature is, but live <em>in harmony <\/em>with it in an improved way.    <\/p>\n<p>II<\/p>\n<p>A parable of the &#8220;modern man&#8221; who wants to impose an <em>idea<\/em> de facto against natural conditions, regardless of them. I often lived like that &#8211; especially in the summer &#8211; and hated him for it, because it was simply impossible to negate his conditions, i.e. to pretend he didn&#8217;t exist (because I didn&#8217;t want him!). &#8230; the biographical background to this is now also known to me&#8230;). <\/p>\n<p>I am now reducing my activities both in terms of quantity and speed.<\/p>\n<p>In slowing down, however, the fantastic experience of INTENSITY and INTERPRETATION is made.<\/p>\n<p>The result is concentration and, from this discovery of concentration, satisfaction! Again, playing the piano is an example of life: by slowing down to half the tempo, feeling, awareness, learning, concentration and insight emerge. Like traveling through a landscape on a bicycle instead of at ICE speed!!!  <\/p>\n<p>In this sense, &#8220;slowing down&#8221; also means breaking down a long route into stages (that are neither too challenging nor too demanding).<\/p>\n<p>The time factor fades into the background. It doesn&#8217;t matter <g id=\"gid_0\">how long<\/g> a process takes. What is important is experiencing the present and the lasting internalization of the experience and learning.  <\/p>\n<p>Patience is happiness!!!!!<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Patience is happiness I It&#8217;s been hot and midsummer for weeks.
