Well I dont know if I'll answer correctly right off the bat as we all have that difference of interpretatin thing but
now looking back at what I said(which is usually thought of as kinda lame to me afterwards; sometimes).I see it in
several ways!
Did I want attention brought to my deep involvement with music? Dictator wanting attention?
Was it my curiosity as to whether others here are moved by music in the daily format of life ?student believer?
Could it also be the plea for sharing with others?hard worker -doormat?The coach points out many other cases
where related things added by others,like the meditational addages of song or chanting which as been such an
integral part of AWARENESS training in all and many forms for thousands of years before us now; but the definate
connection with spirituality on a whole that sound plays !Pointing out a good lesson for us here?
I guess it could be many things but I know, I dont feel (stupid) singing to my trees!Music is such a positive thing
to me no matter what kind just because of the emotion it envokes.
I know many people who live for music and many others that it has little impact on and like I said before feel
sorry for them for what they miss in it!
At least me opening up this melodic can of worms can open some new discussions on how others are impacted
on this subject!A different stream of music all together the music of humankind?
Hope to see some good feedback!
It's 10 degrees outside and have to work on a badly broken hoof on a horse this morning not a fun task but I
will turn on the radio and this helps me keep after the task at hand with a smile!Music helps!Music heals!
Had to mention that I shop for music at CD now and got a mailing from them about donating proceeds from sales
to a cause for music therapy for autistic children and the newly conceived breakthrough at the amazing therapudic
effect it is having on several groups of people!Wow did they just start realizing that music is a super helpful tool
for all?Could possibly be one of the oldest forms of therapy known to man!
Just my opinion!
Love Suz
