"Most of us go to our graves with our music still inside of us." Anon
I'm not sure what my music is. Is it talent, or dreams, or the way we live life?
I think many people have a talent they haven't used. Or, if they use it it is only for their own benefit. I think all talent should be used rather you sing, paint, play an instrument write or keep a clean house. My church choir comes to my house every Christmas and sings carols. I love seeing their smiling faces and great spirit as they sing, bringing happiness to me and I am sure to themselves. They are using their talent for good.
Those whose talent is dreaming, and then following up on those dreams ensures me our world is in good hands. To see the young people planning their college years or those who have graduated zipping right into getting settled, obtaining a job and exploring all the wonders the world has to offer, those people are using their music. God bless them.
My friend Geri plays a recorder and is now flirting with a dulcimer. In addition to her Madrigal singing she is certainly bringing her music to the world. What a talented lady she is. She uses her music to enhance the lives of others and receives kudos for that.
Then there is the housekeeper. The one whose house is always ready to greet a friend. It is a welcoming place, neat and clean and always ready for any occasion. Her music is being used to capacity.
But what about all the others whose music is still hidden? I know there are people who could allow their music to be exposed before their life is over. If you are one of those folks, stop and think about the talents you can share. It will not only make your life more meaningful, it will make others happy too.
Many people know they have a talent, but are so busy they are saying, when I retire, when my kids are out of school, when, when, when. Remember, "Life is not a race. Take it slower. Hear the music before the song is over."
Until next time.
Be kind to one another
