Making Music Each Day

“Life’ wrote a friend of mine, ‘is a public performance on the violin, in which you must learn the instrument as you go along.”― E.M. Forster, A Room with a View

“Life never gives us what we want at the moment that we consider appropriate.”― E.M. Forster, A Passage to India

Life is life-ing
As it does
To not take it too lightly
To not take too heavily
To allow, invite, experience
So much we think we know but don’t
Assumptions and judgments to simplify and feel in control
False narratives for false comfort
To be awake, aware, at attention
Gratitude, grief, grace
In small things
Big too
Keep asking, growing, softening
Porous heart
Generous spirit
Curious mind
Plant seeds
Play often
Offer love, laughter, joy
Music in the making, written in the playing
Enjoy and participate in life in all of it’s life-ing
Cast light

“Life belongs to the living, and he who lives must be prepared for changes.”― Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
