Song of Life.....

As a performer, when you decide to perform a piece of music, the music of love, family, relationship, religion, survival, or whatever the piece of music represents, you take very good care that you know the lyrics, you train your voice to the best of its ability, then you feel every word and every tone, and octave in your soul. Only when you do this can you perform the piece of music with the honour that it deserves.

The song of life we are expected to sing as part of the universal choir of life. Some sing this particular song better than others because perhaps we are meant to compose and perform our own songs and not try and change the universal song of life.

We can sing and master more than one song in a life time, and in fact we should do exactly that. Some songs are meant to be solo, others are meant to be in duets, mini choirs and universal choirs. Through our own limitations we deny ourselves the right of expression and end up empty, frustrated individuals.

There is always the beautiful opportunity to rather than just perform, compose your own piece of music merging your own words, tones, nuances, feelings, octaves etc. We don’t have to be performers of existing music only. It is a beautiful reality that we have the gift of growth and it is our birth right if we choose to exercise it.

It is in the composing and performing of our individual music that we will give expression to our soul and when you get to that point, you will know that for the largest part your ladder is up against the right wall.
