Next to silence, music comes the closest to expressing the inexpressible. - Huxley
Music is the language of nature. There will always be the cynics to remind us of our frailties and failures, but there is also a timeless treasury of literature, art, music and dance to celebrate our truer value and remind us we can grow. Music helps us point our way in the direction we really want to go -- it all depends on how we'd rather see ourselves, for as we see ourselves, so do we become.
Music is the sacred geometry of God ... the divine mathematics. Hasrat Inayat Khan
"The poets did well to conjoin Music and Medicine in Apollo: because the office of medicine is but to tune this curious harp of man's body and to reduce it to harmony." -- powerful words from Sir Francis Bacon, the guy who "invented" the scientific method. I certainly agree -- in fact that among its powers (romantic, military, exciting, etc.) music has the ability to point our way towards healing, health, and wellness.
The visual and performing arts are windows through the mundane to the brighter side of humanity. They mirror the beauty, the hope and the triumph inside and around us, if we choose to look for it.
But . . . "some people go to their graves with their music still inside of them." (Oliver Wendell Holmes). I have chosen to not let that happen. Here are some of my offerings as an invitation to join me here or in person, as we explore.
So if you would like to come share music with me, you are welcome. Bring your humming or singing voice, your clapping hands, patting feet -- or more. If you like it click "Like" and come back again. Encourage me and I will create more (like everyone else) -- ignore me and I will go away. And remember, "In music, technique is secondary. The object is to express poetry, and the players express it through their eyes, through their bodies." (Slotkin)
"A musician must make music, an artist must paint, a poet must write, if he is to be ultimately at peace with himself. What one can be, one must be." Maslow
And so I must. And in doing so I awaken a latent spirituality deep within myself. Perhaps Martin Luther was right when he said
"I have no pleasure in any man who despises music. It is no invention of ours: it is a gift of God. I place it next to theology. Satan hates music: he knows how it drives the evil spirit out of us."
It has been written, "Those who do not hear the music think the dancers mad." Come join me in my sacred madness.
