A few days ago, I blogged about music, and got so wrapped up in sharing all kinds of resources that I lost myself in the entry. An hour later, Mark came in and said, “WHAT are you doing?” I was totally lost in my world of music, going through my mental Rolodex to share my favs for meditating, journeying, and, of course, shaking your booty!
Apparently, that post wasn’t meant to be as my computer flickered and then *POOF* (insert Fairly Oddparents big cartoon cloud here) it was all gone!
Oddly, though, I had no reaction. I mean, seriously, I had probably 20 links to other sites (that I looked up individually) where you could tap into these amazing artists, etc. and NO reaction. No frustration… no irritation…nothing. Just, “Well, guess that wasn’t meant to be!”
Later that evening, I wondered about the non-response… Why didn’t I react to what could easily have seen as frustrating? And, quite honestly, something I have reacted to before.
What came to me was that the post was really for me. And, it was a way for me to appreciate these artists for their company along my journey. The hour was spent in gratitude…thankful for each one of these people who followed their hearts to do what they love, and because they did, I enjoyed their gifts.
I have close to 10,000 CDs… a serious music collector of everything from rap (Fergie) to trance music (Liquid Bloom) to classical (Vivaldi is my favorite). I truly love to listen to the words and the vibe behind this art.
The one thing I really wanted to share in that lost post is that music is God’s medicine chest. Feeling down? Put on some positive music or music that connects you to a happy time and instantly you are in another energy and place. Feeling scared? Put on a track that reminds you of a time when you were fearless. Music can LITERALLY transport you into a better, more productive energy. And, how simple is that?
