The profoundness of sound is amazing!  I have always been an aficionado of music.  All kinds.  As a dancer I have learned to appreciate the subtleties of the nuances of music that are built into the design of how it flows.  I do not play any instruments nor do I sing (at least not on key unless I have trained my voice) but the ability to move with music is something I know that comes from God.  I am moved by music and music moves through me.  It is as though I can sense the life force in the vibration of the sound waves.  I know that studies have been done that show how music can shift our moods and even enhance brain activity. The auditory cortex processes sound in our brain but music has been shown to activate memory, emotional, and other sections of the brain.  The beauty of life is that music does not just exist in literal form of songs and chords, it is in all of life.  Everything has a rhythm, everything has a sound wave that can be combined with something and thus we experience the soundtrack of our lives.  In the film August Rush, the character Wizard says, ” You know what music is? God’s little reminder that there’s something else besides us in this universe, a harmonic connection between all living beings, every where, even the stars.”  My prayer for us today is that we be open to listening to the music all around us and breathe in how it connects us to God and all living beings.  Make it a great one!
