LIFE BY WAY OF MUSIC © 2011 © 2014
In many ways LIFE reminds me of Music. Some days are easy going and lovely to the ear like the sound of beautiful music being played of melodies unknown. Other days are difficult and coarse. It only takes one mistake - A slip of the the finger - A pressing of the wrong key, to hear a sound so unforgiving. An emotional overload of thoughts dancing around like black notes on white sheet music. I'm saying No to the confusion. But I'm falling deeper into the broken seams of life. Maybe a touch of music can bring it all together. Somehow it always does. Someone - Anyone - Play me a note of PROSPERITY. Sing me a song of FREEDOM. Hum me a song of HOPE. Write me some lyrics of MEANING. Everyday I strive to be the best I can be. I'm playing on the KEYS of my future. My fingers dancing on and off the black and white ones. Every note I play may not be perfect for YOU, but It's a perfect fit for ME, mistakes and all. Each note I play sounds sweeter and sweeter !! My life by way of music is filled with Ups and Downs. It's a rollercoaster ride of twists and turns. A learning experience. As a wise woman once said "We can't plan life. All we can do is be available for it." And available for it I shall be. One Key. One step. One day at a time.
