I attended my friend, Lisa Chew's choral performance today. It had been a long time since I had heard that many voices together, (easily 40 people). It was an awesome feeling. The waves of sound washed over me like the ocean pulsing away at high tide. I sat in the back of the concert hall and shed tears of pure joy, thankful for my ears and the acoustics of the wood and the shape of the room and the baby laughing in the audience, and the pure humanity, fragile and raw and vibrating for the sake of harmony and unity, spelling out the sounds of the heart and echoing the songs of the spheres.
There is little in this life I am more grateful for than music. It stirs my deepest depths and brings me peace even where there would be none.
