Each week I will do my best to fill this site with enriching readings in these “Reading Of the Week” or “ROW” posts. This week I’d like to share Maria Popova’s piece on one of my favorite philosophers and authors Josef Pieper and his thoughts on the nature of music! I hope you enjoy this old yet refreshing take on the sounds that refresh us each day!

Music articulates the inner dynamism of man’s existential self, which is music’s “prime matter” (so to speak), and both share a particular characteristic — both move in time. – Josef Pieper
