The Music In My Mind

I was listening to music streaming through our Alexa the other day when a song came on that reminded me of a friend who moved away. Immediately this song became my personal chauffeur…. taking me on a drive through a forest of memories of her. That same day I heard a song…it was one Elton John performed…. and I was driven to a group of friends…in my old college dorm. I don't remember their names…after all…it's been so long…. but I remember there is happiness attached to that old song. When I hear a song that reminds me of Deborah… as I listen to its music and sometimes sing along I'm transported to the moment we both first heard that song. I suppose that's why listening to music is so easy to embrace because of its ability to transcend…to transform time and space. When I randomly listen to music…happily …I never know If it's a song that once touched my heart…where I'm going to go. I'd like to spend more time explaining exactly what I mean… how certain songs set me free… but the music is still streaming and it appears…my chauffeur's calling me.
