![]() Music To My SoulA Story by Briana O'ConnorMusic can express the
mystical experience better than language; it can tell of its mystery, joy,
sadness, and peace far better than words can utter. The fatigued intellect
finds a tonic and the harassed emotions find comfort in music. " Paul
Brunton in Meditations
for People in Crisis by Paul
Brunton To Practice This Thought: Music
is the charger of life, and we are the batteries. The desideratum for soul
replenishing music haunts me daily. As I slave away, earning wages to pay for
the life I live, my being slowly depletes as I listen to the factory beeps and
booms. I long to slip my earbuds in and recharge my spirit. Daily,
tunes come to me through my love bug earbuds. I smile as the beats travel from
my ears to my soul. Songs like Happy by Pharrell boosts my energy as I bounce
up and down feeling as if I’m telling the darkness in the world to shove it-I’m
happy. Thrift Shop by Macklemore & Ryan Lewis have me shaking my shoulders,
saying “Damn right I shop at GoodWill. I’m a thrifty individual who doesn’t
care about your social norms.” Of
course, there are days when my aura is darker, and I crave the electric thrash
of rock n roll. Highway to Hell by ACDC sends me on an adventure to battle the
darkest parts of myself. Bodies by Drowning Pool sparks my imagination and I
see myself walking down the ramp at a wrestling arena ready to decimate my
enemy. Music
allows me to be anything I want to be. It heals me, elevates me, and allows me
to release my emotions and demons and in a healthy, stable environment. Each
day I travel to another world through my many playlists. My taste in music is
unlimited. I love it all. Every genre speaks to me in a different manner. I am
grateful for its presence in my life. © 2020 Briana O'Connor |
