Hello My Friends,
For the ones who know me, I have always loved music. I remember that the first band I listened to were The Beatles. I benefited from having older siblings who introduced me too many different music styles, and I went through all kinds of phases, from 60s rock to Motown to jazz to hip hop. Do you remember your musical adventures? The bands and musicians you came to love and follow every step of the way?
Music is so very inspiring, comforting and at times challenging to me in good ways. The lyrics wake me up to a better life, a more giving and loving life, and the appreciation of the good things around us. Music is with me, in good or in bad times. It just soothes my whole being.
So, how interesting that for some time I totally neglected music even if I knew deep down inside how important it is for me. It happens that we get so side-tracked by our duties, obligations, etc. that we forget about what nourishes us, what makes us feel inspired and relaxed. Amazing, isn't it? Maybe you would say that it's sad. Though if we look at it as a chance to rediscover and appreciate again what has once been lost, there is a different perspective to consider. At times, we will get off track in life, and as long as we tap into ourselves and ask for support from the higher power, we can always found our way back on our track. Music helps me very much on this journey, and I hope it does for you, too.
And as we speak of it, here is one of my favorite songs (among many) about music:
