Re: Jackie's CD Debut

------------------------------------------------------------ --------------------

I just had another listen to this clip.....

Something profound and unique and wonderful comes to life when I hear her sing, and I've been trying to find a definition that fits. I feel cleansed or healed as a result of her voice and spirit...not in any cure-for-cancer TV movie of the week way, but maybe in a gentle made a bad day end better way...
It's kind of like Jackie's songs initiate a warmth and a peace in whatever environment I'm in. I don't say this to be Mr. Sensitive Poetry-Spouting Dude,
I say it because, for me, it's true.

Back to the definition...."cathartic" was a possibility...I looked it up to verify I was defining it correctly, and it led me to "catharsis", which led me to....a word I'd never heard before, but I instantly discerned the root word was purge.

PURGATION
a : purification or purgation of the emotions (as pity and fear) primarily through art
b : a purification or purgation that brings about spiritual renewal or release from tension


"...primarily through art..."


That's what I'm talking about!
