Someone wrote that each day of the new year is a blank page, pure with no blemishes just waiting for our entry, for our mark. We often gather up our memories at this time of year and think back to what has gone before. For me it brings to mind specific songs identified with both happy and sad moments of the past. As I sang to my new baby granddaughter last evening going from one song to the next I found myself singing some songs I sang to my children. If music is anything, it is the connector of our souls to memories, and the feelings we had at the time those memories were made. The joy. The Joy ! The power and continuity of a song to connect a memory of joy and hope from over 40 years ago to that same joy and hope in the now.
What song is in your heart today? Is it one of joy? or sorrow? or somewhere in between perhaps. Name it. Relish the memory to which it connects you. When my time of crossing over, I have specific songs to be played quietly in the background. We come into this place on a beautiful wave of sound, and we shall leave the same way. I have read this somewhere and it so resonated with me I knew it to be true.
People are reading this blog and clicking on the comments, yet no one has left a name or signed up to follow on a regular basis, and that's okay. I am glad you are reading, and hope that you are enjoying them, being inspired perhaps, or taking something from them to give you hope or courage or insight for the moment. Bless you. Listen to the music.
and may your every page of 2011 be accompanied by the sounds of love, laughter and music!
ReplyDeleteLovely Lana, how I miss you! I am so happy you've started a blog to share your wisdom, spirit and heart with others! More and more, I am becoming acutely aware of the power of sound - music in particular. A certain song can totally affect my mood in very powerful ways. Keep up your wonderful work, and I'll be checking your blog often. I also put a link on my blog to yours! xoxo
