Location-The green room. We call it the green room because of the green carpet
Parameters- Blindfolded, play the piano using only hearing and feeling, stay at the piano piano 45 minutes. Entertain my children and have fun.
Honestly, sight while being very important in playing the piano has always been my greatest obstacle. I have never had the self discipline to not look at the keys while playing which has slowed my progression. Finding the keys that I wanted based on sound and feel alone has seemed to me to possibly be a door by which it may be possible to make greater progression in my pursuit to play the piano. I also tried another experiment in being blindfolded with different parameters which also involved being in one place. In both experiments I found that not being able to see was relieving and relaxing. It was actually a great break from the strain of sight that because of my experience in war has become a constant source of stress always searching for threats. Always scanning and always giving my mind visual aids to associate with the darker side of the human experience. Somewhere between being covered head to toe in the blood of the innocent dead and being blown up by a suicide car bomb yards away while on foot, the people that had my rifles barrel in their faces took on the faces of those that knew, the faces of humans, even the faces of my family. Now the faces of the living take on the faces of the dead for which I cannot care. PK
