Song

        "The world is full of songs. The birds are the main messengers of song. They scatter their tunes throughout space. Other animals have a 'song', a trademark sound, the growl of the bear, the call of the wild, each with its own meaning. Each person has a song, is a song. Some sing it,some play it, some are it. Each person has a signature song, a sound which is carried within and which is projected outwardly.

        We all contribute a song. We are all part of the universe and as nature and earth sings its song, so do those who inhabit it. We are around those who are pleasant to be with, who have a harmony about them, and with others, there is definitely an 'off-key' sound or feeling. The voice is the song carrier and there are those who have been gifted with the talent of carrying sounds and feelings that they may touch others. Some waste their talent or do not use it, others spread pleasure as they share that which has been given them.

        We sing with our bodies. We sing with our minds. We sing what we are. The energies around the body are affected by the thoughts, moods, and feelings carried within. These are constantly shifting, therefore, we sing different songs throughout the day and night. Some 'songs' which sing the strongest are those that are not of the voice. It comes from the balance and beauty of the person who is able to be in harmony with self. Though the strongest, it does not have to be the loudest, but it can drift and surround those who come in contact with it.

        Humor is a song that changes others. Laughter is a song that delights. Sounds of the voice, though perhaps not musical, can be soothing and calming to the ear. It is the song of peace. There are too many times when there is not room for the songs of others, when the space is so crowded with sounds that the songs of the individuals are not heard. So much is missed as a result.

        We can teach our children to be aware of the songs that they sing. We can teach them the balance of being around others in such a way that they exude their song. We can teach them the specialness of each individual. We can give them confidence to be themselves and to be aware of the uniqueness of each individual, each 'song'. We can teach them that all songs do not have to be loud. We can teach them to listen, to hear others. Each person adding balance creates more harmony on earth and in their immediate surroundings as well as within. Taking a few minutes a day to become peaceful, to quiet down the sounds within can help to restore the harmony of the individual.

        We all sing ourselves with our energies. We need to practice, as with any song, that we can increase the melodies and let the hearing of the song be a blessing to others."
