Music Evokes Emotion
When the world around me won't hear my loud, "SHUT UP" I divert to melody filled headphones. The moment they are placed in my ears, I breathe. The rhythm acknowledges my desire for everything to be quiet. It eases my eyes to shut, focus my mind on the placement of my feet and helps me shake off the unnecessary lingering blah soaked in my pores. Music evokes some of my most intense emotions. It invites me to be raw and offer relief to the waterfall inching its way to its descent. I can let go without forgetting the reason I first put the headphones on. And when I take them off, the tune carries silently and my "shut up" shuts up and I can walk on.
