Music

Music is important to me. I do not have an obsessive need to listen to it 24/7, I don't have a huge CD collection and I find concerts to be way too loud to tolerate most of the time (I've worn earplugs at concerts for many years and I don't understand the obsession to turn the knobs as high as they will go so the sound distorts.

Yes, I played instruments. Sax, clarinet, guitar and piano. Yes, I did think I wanted to be a musician when I was in high school. Yes, I worked my ass off and won the band award and thought I'd move to an even bigger city to go to university. Yes, I realised in the nick of time that being a musician would have eaten my soul and spat it out (the repetition). I lack the ability to create music so having to play songs again and again became annoying.

Fast forward. I don't like having a lot of CDs necessarily. I like exploration and variety. I stumbled onto last.fm when I lived in the UK and have been on a pilgrimage ever since 2004. What I didn't realise was that messages are spoken to me through music.

What the hell am I talking about? I really don't have the energy to talk about it today (it's been a long 4 days of teaching first aid with labour intensive classes), but I will another day if you want to hear. Let me know if you do, if I don't hear from you, I'll drop it permanently.

weird that I stumbled onto this. well, not weird... it's how the cookie crumbles. I'll let you figure it out. I'm not a medium like her but 'coincidences' and music play a big part of how I'm guided, and it is meaningful coincidences - like what you see in this episode. I miss talking to my guide face to face, but he still guides me. I miss talking to him, but it is as it is for now.
