Instead of having seconds, listen to a Mozart sonata today. If you don't have one, tune in to a classical radio station. Sit and do nothing else but listen to that music. Focus on every note. Listen to the rapture, the joy that Mozart had when the melody flowed out of him. He sat with pen and paper at hand – often with no piano or instrument – and let it just flow out, almost without effort or thinking about it. Listen to the precision of harmony and counter-point that he had. Such ecstasy it must have been to be that talented. He was so naturally gifted, and able to let the music flow out of him. So joyous, and breathtakingly beautiful at times I can barely stand it! This is a much better feeling than being stuffed with food. Listen to music, and let it play inside you instead of having a second helping of something today. Have just a little, keep with your daily food plan, and let time go by – you will feel most satisfied.
