Music
Music, the universal language that can bring people together in times of joy, and in times of great distress. Even if you don't understand the language the music speaks to your soul.
As far back as I can remember music has been a part of my life. Our parents enjoyed listening to music, so we grew up with the sound of country melodies. As a teenager I can't say I was a big fan of country music; I grew up in the 60's so when the Beatles came along, and then the Rolling Stones, rock and roll became a part of my life.
In the 80's and 90's I was raising my children, and as my parents did, I introduced them to music as infants. As they grew up we enjoyed much of the same music, but it's funny how they too were not big country fans as teenagers. Perhaps it has something to do with rebelling against parents.
Over the years I have come to appreciate many genres from country to classical, rock, soul and much more. I learned that good music comes in many forms and if you are open then you will be fortunate to experience it all. You never know what will speak to you.
Music has brought me great joy during the lighter moments in life, and also comforted my soul during times of loss. It can evoke so many different emotions. There are songs that can take me back in time to younger days and the memories will make me smile. There are others I hear that will bring to mind loved ones who are no longer here, and they have a way of soothing me.
Music speaks to us all and is a great equalizer. I would like to think that someday music will be the majestic unifier that brings the world together. If we let it speak to our souls' then anything is possible.
