I still think music is a great boon to anyone,

In some cultures music fits in with each day like water is essential to life.

Your music, your tunes, will be the stuff of inspiration, contemplation or whatever benefit in mood influencing moment, you choose.

So many put their all into their music.

They would want us to, but more, it is so well worth our while taking advantage of the results.

And perhaps, our results are also better for the music in our lives.

Play on.

Packing a suitcase is an exercise in restraint. There’s always more you can take on a journey than you will need.

Balance is the thing. The comfort of carrying little versus the assurance of having everything you want with you.

Picturing yourself walking out into the city you are visiting or countryside to explore helps.

I find rigid rules do not work.
But some use a strict guideline and are happy with that.

Main thing is to enjoy the journey and be nourished by it. It is you, not your luggage that will be enriched by a new experience!

Dry river, wet cement.

Sometimes materials do not obey the rules we presume are standard.

If we can walk outside the “standard”, try a new drill, choose a new voice, we can see new horizons.

You may climb a mountain. Often the mountains to reach the summit of, are closer to home and easier to conquer.

Sounds good.

As above,

Beyond the kettle, summoning up courage.

When you have an inkling that it would be good to start a conversation with someone you just never seem to get to speak to, you are correct.

Words, gestures, voice, music – we are built to communicate. Every bold step helps.

Sing out!

Gliding across a lake with swan-like grace.

Diving from a cliff into azure hued waters.

Swimming with the tide.

Rowing against the tide.

Bouncing with pride.

Enjoy the ride whichever way you take it.
