When was the last time?

WHEN WAS THE LAST TIME . . . .

10/11/11

Alex gets in the car going out to dinner we are.

He turns down the radio to low.

Wow, you were really jamming on the way home he says.

I say I had it loud and really enjoyed my drive home.

That's all I say for I've played it since the start of the day.

A customer pops in the shop,

he comments on the wonderful music

I play that day.

But when was the last time . . . .

music moved you to tears of joy?

For new music, I had downloaded the day before

Josh Groban's "Thankful" it was

that moves me to tears this day.

"Each of us must find our truth."

"It's up to us to be the change" he sings.

"There's so much to be thankful for."

How does music move us so?

For it matters not if we even know the words!

The next song I downloaded was "Ave Maria"

Sung in Italian by Josh it was.

I questioned why I downloaded this one

then the answer came, over all of me,

all at once.

By the middle of the song

my whole being was covered with goose bumps

or God bumps as a friend of mine has called them.

Tears of joy and sobs flowed freely as I listened to that song.

It mattered not that it was in a foreign tongue to my ears.

I need not question my download now

my physical reaction was proof enough.

For How does music move us so?

I listen to it now and go still

lost in the music that fills me so.

May you find that today

Something that moves you so.

"Some days we can't see the joy that surrounds us."

See the joy that surrounds you!

"There is a place we're all connected."

"Each of us can find each other’s light."

"So tonight we pray for what we know can be!"

So see the joy that surrounds you so

and pray for what you know can be

and realize there's so much to be thankful for

and have the most wonderful of days today!

May your light shine brightly this day

so that all you meet sense your inner glow

and know we're all one in the same

 in that way, you know.

All My Love Always, Keith
