Musical Greats
Author Douglas Adams describes the three stalwarts of music… “Beethoven tells you what it is like to be Beethoven and Mozart tells you what it’s like to be human. Bach tells you what it’s like to be the universe.”
Interesting quote with so much said in just a line on the three gifted geniuses and their world of music.
Although considered to be a revolutionary its always beautiful to enjoy the music of Beethoven and his magical Moonlight Sonata and Symphony no 5.
The melodious music of Mozart is remarkable for his amazing pace and harmony and balance of light and dark tones of life with a humanistic touch in musical themes.
The spiritually profound music of Bach reflects his deep faith in God and his inate intellectuality. Known to have deeply influenced Mozart, Bach was a prolific musician having composed more than thousands of musical pieces in his lifetime.

Thrive in Gratitude
Life hands many a tough lessons in our journeys. But to strive to be strong and tread through it all, not just by surviving the ordeals but thriving takes inner strength in conviction. It helps to focus on your sense of purpose if you have deciphered it by now, else take each moment as momentary. Know the pain you feel in this now will be gone in the next. This attitude takes you on a spiritual path of letting go. It makes a profound impact in life as you continue to practise regularly. Regardless of outcomes you are thriving…in Gratitude for the lessons from life in the living.🙏

What is it to be Spiritual?
To be spiritual is to embrace the exploration of experiences called life
To be on the path of Spirituality is the path of oneness.
To be spiritual is to acknowledge the uniqueness of every life.
And sense the connectedness therein
As much as embody the freedom of the spirit.
In the independence is the interdependence
In the interdependence is the interbeing
Sensing the divinity within and around you.

Reflecting reflections
Are we in the reflections or or are we the reflection itself?
What do you think?
Is all an illusion in the reflection?

Happiness
A great share to remind yourself to check your current state of being. .
If only happiness can be summed up…
How easy it would seem!
But happiness can be elusive
When summoned it is often fleeting
But being able to take stock of your being
Will keep you aware
Of how much happiness is an inside job…

Age No Bar
To dance is to get in touch with yourself.
To dance is to express yout own sense of rhythm.
To dance is to move from all of your heart.
To dance is to connect with the inner child within.
To dance is so much more than the moves you do, it is to tune into your own being.
To dance is to explore and express the connect you feel within you.
Socrates learned to dance when he was seventy because he felt that an essential part of himself had been neglected.
Age is no bar to learn to dance !

Our vibrance
Our universe is full of waves of energy. And all life is energy in varied forms .
In the subatomic level all is vibrational and moving .We are all pulsating oceans of energy fields. This very waves of energy is what makes us unique as we are in ourselves and in the way we interact with one another.
Sometimes these waves of energy are seemingly stagnant and at times moving in momentous speed.
Life is full of vibrations. Sometimes you sense its brilliance and at other times it is so subtle and subjective to our level of understanding at that point in life. Yet there are reasons for why you emit the vibrations that you do. And it’s all interconnected.
From the food, you eat your choices have a way of influencing your body and your body affects the way you feel and think.
Our thoughts have much to do with our emotions and thus the behaviour of every cell is affected in a relational way to another.
Some simple ways to raise your positive vibrations…
Walk outdoors
Smile and laugh more
Spend time in nature
Have a hobby
Support a cause
Exercise, dance & play
Listen to soothing music
Eat vegetables and fruits
Drink adequate water
Think well for one and all!
And most of all
Love life and live it lovingly!

Songs matter
Some songs weild power over us
Of playing with our emotions
Of altering reality in just a while!
Merging reality and dreams
Shifting our perceptions and reactions
Making us cry or laugh as we tune in
Some songs bring memories rushing in
Of moments lived and loved
Songs can create moods
Play on our senses
Shake thoughts up
Or make things feel alright!!
Everyone of us may have
Our own special song
Appealing to our senses
Touching base to who we truly are
Have so many favorite songs
That leave lasting impressions
Of life made a little more memorable
All evoked through those untold stories!
What about you?

I have always been a lover of stringed instruments and their sounds. I wanted to know and learn a bit more about the Bandura.
A bandura is a Ukrainian, plucked string, folk instrument. It combines elements of the zither and lute and, up until the 1940s, was also often referred to by the term kobza. Early instruments had 5 to 12 strings and similar to the lute. In the 20th century, the number of strings increased initially to 31 strings, 56 strings – 68 strings on modern ‘concert’ instruments.
Musicians who play the bandura are referred to as bandurists. In the 19th – early 20th century traditional bandura players, often blind, were referred to as kobzars.
A little bit on the lute and zither two instruments whose elements are combined in the music.
Lute is any plucked string instrument with a neck (either fretted or unfretted) and a deep round back enclosing a hollow cavity, usually with a sound hole or opening in the body. More specifically, the term “lute” can refer to an instrument from the family of European lutes.
The lute is plucked or strummed with one hand while the other hand “frets” (presses down) the strings on the neck’s fingerboard. By pressing the strings on different places of the fingerboard, the player can shorten or lengthen the part of the string that is vibrating, thus producing higher or lower pitches (notes).
Zithers are played by strumming or plucking the strings, either with the fingers (sometimes using an accessory called a plectrum or pick), sounding the strings with a bow, or, with varieties of the instrument like the santur or cimbalom, by beating the strings with specially shaped hammers. Like a guitar or lute, a zither’s body serves as a resonating chamber (sound box), but, unlike guitars and lutes, a zither lacks a distinctly separate neck assembly. The number of strings varies, from one to more than fifty. Ref : Wiki
A few of my reflections on Music…
Music can be elusive yet effusive
Explosive and yet an epitome of blissfulness.
You may choose to dance and flow it with it
And know how blessed are those
Who can create music to tune into.
Yet you may not own its flow
You simply owe it your joy!!

Rhythm and Rhyme
Rhyme gets you going every time
Indeed there is no need for a reason to rhyme
But as the words wax an eloquent jostle
It kindles the heart and fires the memory muscle
When the pen frees up to move with ease
And is done with arranging words, as you please
It feels suddenly the most liberating thing
Like setting free the tune that you are ready to sing
And in the joy of the spirit, its’s no wonder …
A song is born, in all this heartfelt endeavor
As the rhyme connects with rhythm by chance
Those who move the easiest have learned to sing and dance….:)

When the heart dances…
When the heart dances
The body moves
The spirit sings
The soul senses
Joy abounds.
It doesn’t matter what dance you love …. what matters is that your heart loves to dance 🙂
