The Beauty in Things I Could Complain About

The Beauty in the Humdrum

A hum provides a particular sound quality of minimal tones.  It has even been described as having only one tone.  The drum provides the beat, the steady course that all things follow accordingly. When something is humdrum it is known to be dull, flat.  Life can sometimes have little excitement and schedules, obligations, bills and responsibility start to shape our days, weeks and months, until the routine becomes our beat and we feel flattened.  Often times the methodical and customary necessities of life can leave us zombie-like, following the one beat, day in and day out, but then you are reminded of the Beauty: the Beauty in no surprises, the Beauty in rocking to the beat you’ve been given, the Beauty in music being made, the Beauty in simplicity, the Beauty in spicing it up on your own terms, the Beauty in the humdrum.
