Music of My Mind


Today, walking through London to the sounds of Eddie Kendricks' "Date With The Rain" aroused so much joy from within. For the past month songs have been popping into my mind from out of nowhere, performing a soundtrack that sings inside of me, rustling up lovely emotions from within. Music fills London's vastness with colour and depth, and people take on a whole new life - strangers become lively characters all connected in the same play, and I feel an unprecedented connection and compassion with all around. Music is joy, a connecting force, that joins people providing spiritual transcendence. Music is a ritual for the masses, to reach higher levels of union. Nightclubs have often invoked a spiritual union for me - the persistent rhythm of the beat, the connecting force to which people excite harmony in the dance, that gorgeous synchronisity of movement. Is anyone else on this journey feeling the wonders of music resonating with greater force? I am just touched by it right now. Speaking the other night with a friend about the concept of composing a spiritual form of music, we concluded that music is, inherently this; as it signifies hope. Its abstract nature creates a field in which we can project our feelings, its melody elevates our mood, its rhythm is a life force. Singing is a prayer, taking breath deep into your lungs an exhaling an image of one's inner-soul. Dancing is to rejoice. I am relishing right now this extraordinary truth. Happiness, sadness and all feelings are combined in the extensive field of emotion that music encompasses. I have decided that I am going to reconnect with my love of music this week and take myself to a lovely club where everyone just loves to dance; with joy and verve. In Joy, Poppy x

Joyfully witnessing your travels through the inner terrain on the currents of music.

I get so high on music some days, usually walking through the gardens nearby - a surge of hopefulness, just as you said, wells up and it is so moving! Sometimes it pulls out sound from deep inside, too. How glorious for you to access that in this time.

Love to you always.
