THOUGHTS #7: MUSIC IS MAGIC

       WITHOUT MUSIC, LIFE WOULD BE A MISTAKE

I cannot imagine life without music. The kind of music that SOARS, or the kind that I hum as I vacuum or sing in the shower or listen to, or watch.

MUSIC MAKES MY MOOD,

CHANGES IT,

ENHANCES IT...

and makes the most wonderful feelings 

RISE
within me.

It leavens, like bread rising...

Marches, ballads, polkas, fox trots...

solos, choirs, duets and trio's.

It is the musical, the musical instruments,

THE WIND...& the woodwinds.

The BRASS, and the brassy.

It lights my fire and puts it into a mellow mood.

We make fun of elevator music but think what going up 56 stories in dead silence

and a bunch of strangers some of whom might make you feel a bit uneasy would be like. Music tempers the circumstances and makes the cumbersome awkwardness in some situations more bearable.

Sometimes when I am musing about a problem, suddenly a song will enter my mind and pretty soon it becomes dominant...the problem starts to recede and somewhere in that space of a few hours/minutes/seconds, it kind of solves itself. Did the music do that? What if? Music is magic. Magic has been known to makes things disappear.

With every beat of my heart, I sense the wonder that is you...

and I begin to hum our song.

Without music, life would be UNTHINKABLE.

And the best part is I don't have to get on my knees. I can even DANCE to it.

Paintings can deteriorate, a good song never does.

WITHOUT YOU
