Awareness of Pleasant Events - Day FOUR

As part of a mindfulness project,

I am suppose to note when a pleasant event or experience occurs, focus my awareness on the event while it is happening, and record it.

DAY FOUR (Friday, October 10 2009):

Q. What was the pleasant event?
A. Listening to a live performance of Samuel Barber's "Adagio for Strings" by the Philadelphia Orchestra

Q. Describe what you noticed while the pleasant event was occurring.
How did your body feel? What mental events, thoughts, and emotions did your notice?
A. My body was overcome with the rawness of realizing I was hearing this piece live.
A. Mentally, my mind was taken over with gratitude by the fact that I was able to hear this piece live.
A. Emotionally, I was moved to tears.

The reality is... this is my experience of the piece. I cannot truly put into words. So experience it for yourself...
