Music

Tonight I am watching the movie Music and Lyrics which is one of my favorite romantic comedies.  One of the best lines talks about the melody and the lyrics of a song and how they are each good individual parts, but together is what makes the music and the magic.  There is no deep revelation about this beyond how amazing music is.  It is just nice to sit and think about it sometimes.  Music is an expression of the human heart and soul beyond what we can say with just words.  We are all tied to music in some way; memories, emotions, or the need to dance.  Even babies that cannot even articulate thoughts dance to music! It can exceed the barriers of language, culture, age.  When I think of blessings, I tend to think about clean water or a warm bed to sleep in at night, but I somehow forget simple things like music.  God gave us this amazing gift to be able to express the inexpressible in at least some way.  It sort of makes me think of God's unconditional love in that way.  We can be overwhelmed by it on a daily basis without being able to explain what exactly it is or what it is about it that makes us feel such a deep connection to it.  It is just such an incredible form of personal communication. Song of the day: "Bedside Manner" by Jeremy Larson. Just beautiful!
