iTunes had a sale this week: "Albums We Love" for $6.99.
I wasn't going to look...but then I saw "La La Land" and decided to make the purchase.
I've had it on repeat on my phone the past couple of days. It's so catchy - some so upbeat and some downright melancholy.
I just might have danced around in my kitchen to the opening few numbers. (No judgment, please.)
I love music.
I thought about the idea of being blind versus being deaf (which is not a new idea) - which would I prefer? Well, I would not willingly choose either of them because both are such spectacular gifts to be able to use, seeing and hearing. But honestly, to live without hearing music or people's voices - for me, that would be harder than not seeing things.
Music makes me so happy - my heart feels lighter and my soul is happy. I just want to dance when there is a good beat or strong melody. It's hard to explain...yet it would be even harder to replace or live without.
Tra la la la la...let the beat go on...
"I have no idea where I am going; I do not see the road ahead of me. I cannot know for certain where it will end. Nor do I really know myself...But I believe that the desire to please you does in fact please you. And I hope that I have that desire in all that I am doing. And I know that if I do this, you will lead me by the right road though I may know nothing about it. Therefore will I trust you always..." -Thomas Merton
I have come to fall in love with teaching in Catholic schools. What are YOU in love with?...
