Let There Be Music…

There is music again in my life after a long spell of silence. I realize I needed the silence as well as all that brought it into my life in order to grow in the ways that I have needed to grow too.

If it weren’t for the last couple of years of hard times I wouldn’t be sitting here right now with this music in my heart. It is funny how that goes isn’t it!

Life gives us what we need if we only listen and learn which is a pretty tall order some moments.

In the last few weeks I’ve reconnected with music from my teens and early adult life. It’s been wonderful to hear those artists and songs again.

They are not spinning around on a turn table however as they did way back when. But they are being heard on the very old probably considered antique speakers we had way back in college…they don’t make them like they used to so we’ve hung on to them and babied them along the way!

Carly Simon’s song “I can see clearly now” lyrics popped into my mind this morning as I was reflecting on the growth I see in myself and some of the wonderful experiences I’ve been having of late. The rain is definitely gone. I can see the bright bright bright bright bright sunny day ahead too!

The lyrics of that song and many others I’ve been listening to by Carly Simon and by Joni Mitchell are sooooo full of wisdom. These song writers were older than their years in the wisdom they wrote and sung about. I don’t think I really appreciated that fact until this morning.

There have been many forces and experiences that have shaped me along the way of my life.

It wasn’t till this morning that I realized perhaps just perhaps all the songs I listened to and sung with so very many years ago provided me with some wisdom that has helped me along my life’s journey too!

I thank you wonderful artists’ soooooooo very much for all the magic and wonder you’ve brought to my life!

What music grows in the garden of your heart?
