These days change is all around us. In the midst of a global pandemic, everyone is experiencing some type of change, some much worse than others. Our day to day has been impacted in a profound way. This is a change to our way of life that won’t soon be forgotten. As talk of things reopening and an attempt at returning to some sort of normal circulate in the media, it’s hard to imagine things ever being the same again.
Change and things being different have been consistent themes in my personal life over the years. This year has been no exception.
Back in November, when the internet was filled with memes about how great 2020 was going to be, I was beginning to experience a shift in my way of thinking about life, and the world. A fundamental change in my world view had begun in my mind. My love of music, and fascination with it’s many connections within our world had led me to this point in my life.
Music, is many things to many people. If you were to take a moment and think about the many different aspects of music, and then make a list of these things, the possibilities are endless.
Music for me, has been a form of personal therapy and self help. A way to change my perspective on the world, just by listening. A method of working things out within my mind, and to allow my self to grow. During these changing times, music also serves as a mental anchor for me. A small piece of normal.
