Mendelssohn once eloquently stated, “The thoughts expressed to me by the music I love are not too indefinite to be put into words, but on the contrary, too definite.” This quote resonates with me deeply. It draws attention to the notion that music, or any non-verbal form of expression, often conveys feelings and experiences with more precision than our verbal language.

Mendelssohn once eloquently stated, “The thoughts expressed to me by the music I love are not too indefinite to be put into words, but on the contrary, too definite.” This quote resonates with me deeply. It draws attention to the notion that music, or any non-verbal form of expression, often conveys feelings and experiences with more precision than our verbal language. Reflecting on this, I see how this thought goes further — in our own being in general.

幾秒內	Semyon Poliakovskii existential_gestalt	The reality we experience in the 'here and now,' such as while watching a new movie or experiencing a sunset with a loved one, present an experience that is uniquely specific and vivid. These experiences, much denser than the music, actually provide the most accurate and distinct (re)presentation of the current moment. What is left for us, then, is the humble option to integrate these visceral experiences into our understanding of the world, translating them into symbols.
