As for me, I don't want to find out what a music-less life would be like! Our Common Ground party last night was full of music - the kind that comes out of keyboards and voices singing lyrics without caring who can hear and how we sound! That's my kind of singing, to be sure! And then, of course, there is the music that comes from the heart - laughter, joy, deep appreciation and reverence for the Life we all share. I love my family beyond words, of course and friends - well, friends are the chosen ones - soul-lights that come on and say "Hi! I see you! Come on over and let's share some of our life-journey together!" Of course, family can be friends, too. Please don't think I am ignoring that truth. It's just that, well, I am head over heels in love with my friends and I am so grateful and thankful that it is so.
We sat at tables of 8 and played a mystery game; our ministers (Bless them! Bless them! Bless them!) made sure each of us was recognized, by name, in their amazing skill of rhyming us all together. The food nourished, as food will do and yet the real nourishment came from the glow in the eyes of each one as we greeted, chatted, and just simply enjoyed each other. Oh, what a gift!
Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!
Thanks for it all! ! !

Hi Carol!
ReplyDeleteSo true! Music affects us on a core level and gets to parts of us that are hard to articulate. We went to see the Four Seasons yesterday and they showed us how each instrument contributes to the music. Many of the instruments played indiviudually and then they played the full segment with all the instruments playing . It was a wonderful reminder of how we are each unique and still greater as a whole..Family and Friends are the roses of life..Thanks for being my wonderful friend, Nicolette
