“What makes us feel drawn to music is that our whole being is music: our mind and body, the nature in which we live, the nature which has made us, all that is beneath and around us, it is all music.” ~Hazrat Inyat Khan (Sufi Master)
My life has been graced by the power of music. Music was there when my dad had a debilitating stroke eight years ago. It connected him to his memories and helped him learn to walk again. My young daughter has speech and motor challenges and has difficulty putting words together. Music allows her to do so. Her first sentences were sung.
As long as I can remember, music has been a creative outlet for me--a way to move out of the thinking realm and into the spirit. And again, now, music has come back to speak to me in powerful ways through my marketing work.
I am so grateful for the healing, restorative nature of music and how it has influenced me. It gives my life meaning and hope...and I am forever indebted.
