Musical Thoughts

Alright, so I had this great conversation with my friend today, and he was telling me that if he ever became a millionaire than he would hire a band to follow him around and play music according to his life. Oh, and this all started because I had exclaimed how fantastic it would be to have a soundtrack for one's life. As we got to talking about it though, I got to wondering, and then a thought from August Rush popped up. "Music is all around us. All we have to do is listen." Music doesn't have to be a constantly playing because so often there's music inside of us. It's a rising swell inside of us that's just waiting to be released. Sometimes it pulses through some people easier than others, but of course it all really depends on whose listening. Not only is there music inside of us, but it's also there all around us. There's music in the wind as it rushes through the trees. There's music in a thunderstorm, in a bubbling brook, in the mighty ocean, in the robin's song, the crackling of a fire, and in the pounding hooves of a herd of horses. As the music rises within me, it makes me want to soar away and leave this world behind. I can feel the bass in my chest; I can see the notes swirling through my mind; and I can hear the words begging to be released. The point? I absolutely love music.
