What Music is to me

“Music expresses that which cannot be put into words and that which cannot remain silent”- Victor Hugo

Music has always been a part of my life.  It speaks to my soul.  It resonates with my deepest being.  It identifies emotions I don't know that I am feeling.  It expresses my deepest hurts, my happiest thoughts and my most sincere prayers.  I grew up with music as a part of worship in church.  I remember thinking that I was grown up when I could sing words to a song without looking down at a hymnal.  I found it easy to memorize things at school when they were put to music.  I could memorize scripture when it was put to music.  Music was a part of me. 

My life forever changed two months ago.  Life during that time until now has been full of shock, devastation, tears, fears and loneliness. It is not my intention to share this blog with anyone at this point.  My hope is that this blog will keep record of music and its life lessons for me. I do not plan to share the details of what happened two months ago but rather focus on the music and what it taught me through this pain. 

I wish I would have started this process earlier but I wasn't ready to "keep a record."  Sometimes writing things down is scary because it makes everything real.  So here it is... my life seen and felt through music.  May it serve its purpose in my own healing.
