Nessun Dorma, the silence in nature, the concluding scene of The Dark Knight, What a Wonderful World... These are some of the things I club together in my little compilation called My Tools for Goosebumps!
I am sure you have yours too: it may be a song or a movie or a place like me or a moment in time, or a person or an item of food; but something which has a physical quality which one or more of your senses can savour and revel in. We also call some of them nostalgic things but not necessary all of them are.
What sets your TfG (Tools for Goosebumps) apart from another's TfG is how you experience it. Some others may share the artefact but they can never share the way and the degree to which they cherish and savour the experience. And in that lies a great fuel for your life journey. How much time do you spend with these TfGs? Do you enjoy the experience completely? Do you go on a hunt for or keep your mind open to discovering new TfGs?
Life has two shades blended in it: the monotonous and the vibrant. Any one by itself can ruin the picture. It is in the balance of the monotony and moments of inspiration that we paint the most sublime pictures of our life. And these TfGs are your paint brushes dipped in the deepest shades of the monotonous and vibrant tones of your life that you can draw from when feel you are running out of inspiration or purpose or comfort.
So explore, reminisce and immerse yourself in these Tools for Goosebumps once in a while!
