Music/Mindfulness

One of my favorite things is discovering a really great song from an artist I’ve listened to for decades and I thought I knew so well. I almost feel nostalgic, like I could have had so many special moments with that song if I had only heard it, and understood it, way back then.

But I wouldn't change a thing. This amazing little moment of discovery wouldn't be the same if I had heard it years ago.  It's only special now, because now is when it suddenly mattered.

When I hear this song again years into the future it will bring me back to this moment, late September 2014, when I played it on repeat and it spoke to me. That’ll be a moment to reflect on how far I've come since then. That'll be a moment to remind me of how much further I will go, of all the songs in life I will have the privilege of knowing.

Hey let your honesty shine, shine, shine, now
Da-n-da-da-n-da-n-da-da
Like it shines on me.
