The Music of Life
by Steve Rees, Ret. RN, Harpist
There are many benefits we can reap from having music in our lives. Music helps us relax, and even fall asleep. Music helps us celebrate special occasions. A concert gives us a sense of elevation as we listen to the trained musicians performing classical pieces that have been handed down through time.
Every culture is blessed with various genres of music that help express that culture's uniqueness within the global community. Music helps us express our feelings. Music is what feelings sound like.
Another aspect of music is that it helps us understand how we can relate to each other in harmony. As we consider the complexity of a full orchestra with all of the various instruments and musicians, we can have a sense of what type of cooperation we need to conduct life successfully within our communities.
We each have a different "instrument" to play. Once we become skilled in "playing" our instrument, we need to join an orchestra, and follow the conductor to bring the performance together in harmony and well-timed for what we have all come together to do.
I was cruising through YouTube the other day and came across this video of a speech from Dr. Jordan Peterson. Watch the video below.
