I wanted to write about music again because I found an amazing quote about it that sums up what it is inside of me. I cannot work out without music. Well, I can, but I hate it. Without the music it just becomes a painful, boring activity. I notice that I’m sweating. I notice all the skinny girls in the room and start to obsess about the way i look. I notice what people are saying about other people and tend to just get pissed off. I need the beat. I need to feel the music wandering around inside of me to cheer me on, to tell me I’m worth it, to show me something beautiful and sexy while I’m recreating myself. That is the power that music has in my life. I know there are a lot of you that don’t get it, but there are just as many of you that do.
That life question that you ask yourself when you are counting your blessings-would I rather be blind or deaf? Logically, I say I’d rather be deaf so I can see and function better in this world. But, then I realize that taking the music away from me would take away what is left of my soul. Interesting no?
You know like when the music goes right over your head
And straight into that part of you which is most beautiful?
I mean when your mind can’t grasp the music’s math
And your heartbeat has no clue,
Your pilgrim soul follows the melody’s path
Looks back and says thank you for this fugue
And it just is and is and is and is so much
That whether you get it or not-it’s got.
