I am listening to birdsong outside my window. The strangest thing is--I am literally backed up to the 495 beltway around Washington, DC. and the birds are still drowning out the traffic.
Most of us have music in the background daily, either in the car on the way to work, or in our homes, or in our heads. I play Mozart and Hindi nursery rhymes alternately for my grandson. When I write, I use mood music to help get my creative stuff moving.
Music is amazingly powerful. It speaks to us on levels that defy analysis. There is a pattern and hum to everything around us, a huge symphony, of all things.
And remember...in the silences between the notes, there is breath and thought and wonder.
I wish brilliant flowing music to you today. What's the smallest thing you will do today to take the time to listen, really listen, and appreciate it?
