Music

[The People]

I am watching the Kennedy Centre Honours. As I was listening to them talk about a woman whose songs spread the message of MLK I thought of music as a whole. Whether it is the beginning or end of war, weddings, or private and personal times there is little that will bring us back to that time like music does. Probably nothing.

Some makes me laugh, other songs can bring me close to tars. Yet so much of it is healing for me. The only other things is my own writing.

I sing in the shower. When I am walking my friends dogs. To the kitty. In the car where I change channels until I find something that suits me.

Some like opera, others like country. Some people like anything they can dance to, even in the privacy of their bedroom.

I love it. So much a part of my life. It saddens me when schools cut these programs out due to a lack of funds, or like in the school I went to growing up, never offer it to begin with.
