Music is Passion

One could be forgiven if after reading the online news or actual newspaper that the world is heading to hell in a hand basket. Bombs going off, Suicide or by plane. Countries invading other countries and Presidents planning to do more invading or destroying. In times like the present, thank God for Music.

More than once, have I connected to the the beat of the music. Once my mind connected to the beat and I let myself go to the rhythm, the music took over and I found myself-dancing. A dancing fool.  Of course, what is romance without music. Many a night at the happening place of the moment, I would slide and glide to the music and dance with that pretty girl(s) hoping that romance would follow. For  Romeo and Juliet it is Tchaikovsky and for you it is?

Music has a special place for those who can hear and for those who are deaf. According to Dr. Dean Shibata of the University of Washington “Brains of deaf people rewire to ‘hear‘ music. … The perception of the musical vibrations by the deaf is likely every bit as real as the equivalent sounds, since they are ultimately processed in the same part of the brain,” says Dr. Dean Shibata, assistant professor of radiology at the University of Washington.Nov 27, 2001www.washington.edu/news/2001/11/27/brains-of-deaf-people-rewire-to-hear-music/

Even in silence it is said that if one listens to the beat of the heart one will hear the rhythm of life. The goal of meditation is to still one self by listening to ones breathing and thus linking into its rhythm that allows one to go deeper into oneself. I am not sure what one will find there but by all accounts it is supposed to be enlightening.
