Timeless - music for meditation
Jul. 12th, 2007 10:50 pmI was just getting back to work today after the two hour Kiwisaver presentation at lunchtime today when my desk phone rang, reception calling to say my Dad was here!
He'd texted me at 7.00am this morning wanting to know if I wanted to have lunch with him, but unfortunately, I didn't check my phone all day and he had a 3.30pm flight back. But he dropped by anyway and it was really good to see him. When I came back down, I was noticably smiling. There were comments.
No house plans to see, alas, but version three is apparently a gable house, sort of a cut-off third story with a deck - what would essentially be an attic room, except it's going to be a proper room with a view of the sea. He said something about Mum wanting it for a sewing room.
He also dropped off an envelope of old coins to deliver to the reserve bank. I should take in mine as well; I think I have about twelve dollars or more in small change that I can't use anymore.
But best of all was when he handed me two battered-looking cassette tapes with faded covers and yellowed plastic covers. One of them was empty, but that's not the important one and it gives me a better chance of finding it again. The other is the one that I was really upset when my dubbed copy broke back in October/November last year. My going-to-sleep tape. Which is, as it turns out, called Timless - music for meditation with Stephen Bell Booth on the piano. I'm going to dub this one again, and probably digitalise it as well. I really don't want to loose it again!
But yes, so happy. For the first time in nearly a year I have the right music to go to sleep to, which is positively awesome.
