Music

We find ourselves in the music. It only feels like oblivion sometimes because you and the music are one, flowing in the same direction at the same speed with the same destination – the beat of the rain becomes the river, the sway of the river becomes the sea. Like the river, music not only flows but tells the story of its passage. We relate to songs because they whisper the stories of our lives. They speak of love’s yearning when our hearts are longing, they trumpet victory when we are triumphant, they sing the blues when we are sorrowful, they agitate for change when our blood is surging with revolution. Songs are narratives of an unfolding mystery.
