Music to Soothe the Savage Beast

I was listening to smooth jazz on the radio after church today and was feeling so good with the sounds of the music. It seemed as if every note was penetrating my inner self and I could feel every thing the musician was feeling. Every part of my mind and body was in tune with each note. And that’s how music soothes the savage beast. I was in a state of calm finding myself totally at peace. I could take stock of my life and come to the conclusion that it wasn’t all bad. Life’s accomplishments I was just feeling myself. I thought I would be able to describe it completely. Words seem to escape me every time I begin to write. Music moves the spirit to a different place and time. Not all music will do this. Loud music can be disruptive and annoying. Certain kinds of music will affect certain things. I’m ignorant when it comes to the latest music. I guess that’s why I listen to jazz. It never changes. You can always relate to it. And it’s never ending. My daily steps have increased because of jazz. The tempo matches my stride. I am at one with what I hear. I love it! You don’t get that feeling with TV. You might get it with a book. I am so glad to be able to hear the different sounds these musicians create. Life’s musical notes have allowed me to hear sounds I never heard before. Oh oh ohoooo listen to the music. I’m living life in the key of E. There were days when i was in Dflat. Every day was a step closer to E. I Iike being soothed. Music brings peace. Imagine turning on the TV every morning and instead of terrible news; there is a beautiful, serene picture of the mountains or a lake and there is music waking you up in a peaceful way. You’re not hearing about what took place overnight or that the traffic is going horrific. Music slowly leading you into what is going to be a wonderful day.
