I too realize that maybe I'm using the wrong word. Harmony for me certainly is not about "agreeing", or "being nice", or "everything's fine". But I really don't know how to explain it, as it is a feeling.

There is some distance about harmony, as in "you're you, and I am I". Harmony excludes abusive relationships, manipulation and pressure. I feel harmony when I have an argument with K, because the way we fight is respectful. Each one says how he feels and we solve the conflict together. That's harmonious, even though we don't agree.

I also feel harmony when I communicate with animals. I enjoy learning their own language and communicating with them using this language, and also using telepathy and visualizations. They get our thoughts. Doesn't mean the cat will be purring and agreeing with me. When I was volunteering at the animal shelter, there were very scared or angry cats trying to bite me at first, but I felt harmony when I was able to communicate with them in a respectful way, even when their message was anger.

I feel harmony when I dance tango, because when you dance tango, you completely improvise and never know what the very next step will be. It takes a lot of courage to let go of control, and a lot of sensitivity to feel the other person and their energy. You also have to do something that expresses the music, so that everything fits together. What is created together is a miracle

Creating Harmony is something bold for me, involving love, courage, freedom, strength, integrity, compassion, conscious decisions, and a lot of work too, like overcoming fears or controlling my thoughts in order not to think crap. Because when you have fear inside, or think negative thoughts, you don't radiate harmonious waves.

Harmony is just a particular energy for me. Some people, situations or places radiate harmonious vibes, others don't. I don't know how to explain the difference between harmonious vibes and disharmonious vibes... it's something that I just feel, on a physical level. I want the whole world and all people to radiate harmonious vibes. Doesn't mean we all have to agree with each other.

Uuugh, was that clear?

Edit: Here's something that kinda expresses my view on what harmony is: (it's tango, what a coincidence )
