Travelling through virtual territory

"Life is a journey, so travel it well." We may not be able to gauge what lies ahead, but we can live it to the full, each in our own way. In fact, where we go to doesn't matter as long as we enjoy the scenery and the people along the way, and we glean more about the meaning of Life. 'Let things be' should be the wise motto. Music, like travels, is a thing of beauty, an uplifting, gratifying experience. The new session of Music for Tranquility of Mind in this season will use Cantonese music and short tunes as the starting point, then move through the Chinese philosophy of the interconnection between the Five Elements, our five internal organs and the pentatonic scale. Let your body and mind roam free on this purging journey!
