MUSIC

     It's important and necessary that we make time to sing at the top of our voices, and to dance to the music that we love. Great music elevates us, but we have to be willing to let go of self-consciousness in order to fully enjoy the rising experience of the rhythm and the beat. We need to find a way to honor the songs that resonate within us, and allow ourselves to move along in time.
     It's easier when we are alone. That way, we can sing with all of our enthusiasm, and shimmy our bodies however we please. Without allowing for such a musical expression on some kind of a regular basis, no matter our age, it seems to me that we live our lives "in check;" properly restrained and composed, but missing out on a piece of freedom.
     It's a primal thing to let go. Let's give ourselves permission. Let's crank up the tunes and get our bodies moving. It's heartening. It's joyful! And it's fun!! :)

I sing along to my favorite songs and dance with joy to the music that moves me.
