Music


Music is everywhere.

It is in all we experience with our senses and beyond.

It enriches the spirit.
It makes us laugh.
It makes us cry.
It fills with joy.
It softens our heart.
It makes us tense.
It relaxes and soothes.
It excites.


It induces emotion.
It proceeds from us.
From our emotion.

From our spirit.


Consider our heartbeats. Rhythm.

Consider our breath. Rhythm.



Listen to a river. There is rhythm.
Listen to the sound of foot steps. Rhythm.
A knock on the door. Rhythm.

Listen to the wind. Melody.
Listen to a bird. Melody.
Listen to a river. Melody.
Listen to a stadium full of people
The sound of many waters. Harmony.

Consider the sound of a passing train. Rhythm.
Listen to the elk. Melody.
Listen to the wolf. Melody.

Consider the rise and fall of the pitch as we speak. Melody.
Listen to the silence. It emphasizes melody and rhythm.

Our DNA has patterns. Melody. Rhythm.
Planets move in cycles. Rhythm.
The sun rises and sets. Rhythm.
We have discovered ways to create rhythms and tones.
Beautiful, wondrous sounds.
Chords and tones that affect us deeply.
Wind and vibrations that add depth to us.

All people have music in them.
Surely it is not by chance.
All people are musicians.

Find your music.

Seek your instrument.
Pursue your melody.

It is never too late.
