Harmonics: An exercise for life


harmonics
no lifting of fingers
no cheating, no blowing extra hard.
no articulation,  just a little tightening of
the belly, it's a bit flabby
isn't it, a stronger air stream
a little higher, a tighter
embouchure surgically
placed just right,
all while relaxing,
smooth, calm,
gentle,
easy
isn't it
just like life's challenges
stand calmly, chest up, face
the music with dignity and confidence,
move gently and with precision to
solve all life's problems
easy
isn't it.
