Music

Music gives us clues, pieces of the puzzle, shapes in the jigsaw of meaning. Music is the key to our souls. Therefore, your choice of music, or someone else’s, is a peek through the keyhole into the most precious of inner chambers. This ability of music to unlock the barricaded door to our hearts, to access the holy-of-holies of our souls, is at once euphorically liberating and unnervingly frightening. It means that giving ourselves over to the art of the Muse – letting the music play us – is a risk, for we don’t know what we will discover about ourselves. But the rewards are profound – insight, inspiration and meaning. Will you take the risk today?
