Hold On to the Music – No matter what tempo the music of life is playing at any given moment…we can stay in harmony when we tune our ears, and our hearts, to the song God has composed for each of us.

”It’s easy to play any musical instrument: all you have to do is touch the right key at the right time and the instrument will play itself.”  —Johann Sebastian Bach

Hold On to the Music

Hold on to the music,

Just let the lyrics sing.

For we never know what tempo

Each season of life will bring.

Hold on to the music,

Just let the instruments play.

When God is your conductor,

He’ll surely guide your way.

Hold on to the music,

Just let the melody hum.

Living surrendered to Him,

No matter what…blessings will come.

Hold on to the music – Sometimes life can seem like a symphony being performed by an orchestra.  I often imagine myself as a musician playing a different instrument during each season of my life.  I visualize God as the conductor, with his baton leading me through the continuous rythym of each day.  I savor the tranquility of the calm melody that soothes my ears when things are going smoothly.  But before long, the steady beat of my drum gradually explodes into a crescendo of uncontrollable circumstances that throw me off-key.

 “No matter what tempo the music of life is playing at any given moment…we can stay in harmony when we tune our ears, and our hearts, to the song God has composed for each of us.”

Holding on to the music of life requires listening with our hearts, because when we live under God’s direction, it really is like hearing a love song.  Musically, nothing tugs at my emotions more than the long, rich strands of a bough gliding along the strings of a violin.  God’s love for us is like that, so deep and full, there is nothing that can separate us from him.  Whether life sings a joyous hallelujah or the most solemn of requiems, we need only hold on to the music of our composer’s voice.  For his love transcends anything we can possibly face.

”I am living my life to the beat of a different drum, and making my own beautiful music along the way.” —FRW

On Hope

On Hope

on hopeA Quote to Carry You

“Hope is that thing with feathers that perches in the soul and sings the tune without the words and never stops…at all”  Emily Dickinson

I often find that music without words soothes my soul to a far greater degree than when lyrics are added,  Quite honestly, I simply find the words to be distractions.   But the pure sound of an instrument being played, with all of its richness and clarity; that sparks the flame that causes me to glow.  That is what hope is like to me.  It doesn’t necessarily change the circumstances; it doesn’t necessarily lift the burden.  It does inspire me to move forward, even when I know not what is ahead of me.  It gives me the courage to face anything that clutters my path.  It gives me a melody who’s beauty drowns out any unpleasantness that may surround me.

May you sing your song of hope today and may its beauty reach the hearts of those around you.

Peace and love,

Felecia

The Body Beautiful

The Body Beautiful…the human body can be thought of as an instrument who’s lyrics create a language all its own.

The Body Beautiful

A lyrical form, the human body is.

Swaying gracefully to a rhythm all its own.

A body in motion, nothing can match,

not even the fluid line of the artist’s brush.

A statue it makes so smooth, yet refined…

a quiet stillness breathing life deeply within.

Its music? How luscious, most beautiful of all.

Each vein hums the melody that beats from the heart.

The human form, the essence of perfection…

and the mind equally yoked with intricate brilliance.

Like a vessel, the skin holds inside; a precious jewel…life!

Play your instrument, sing  your words softly.

Let the world take notice…the body beautiful…is you.

May you resonate fully with the beauty that is you!

Peace and love,
