There is something remarkably simple yet profoundly significant about just sitting & actually listening to the radio.

August 3rd, 2013, 9am

It was 14°C with scattered clouds. There was moderate breeze.

Your only choice is “what station?” … followed by “when?” You may choose specific DJs or shows … or you may choose just to switch your radio on.

Put your trust in the DJ … let him or her choose the tunes.

Put your trust in the DJ … let him or her dictate the mood.

If you don’t like what’s on offer then you can switch off or change the channel. You have this choice too.

I find it refreshing to let a DJ introduce new music to me or remind me of tunes I may have forgotten. Yes, they are a constraint … yes, you are handing over part of you to them … the part about self-determination & free will … but not all constraints are bad. Sometimes too much choice is simply too much.

So today … let the DJ choose.
