Music is saving the world

I’m feeling deeply inspired by people like Melanie DeMore (whose video I posted the day before yesterday) and the Bengsons. They are brilliantly responding to the craziness of these times with so much love and light, with such honesty and authenticity, touching the soft and vulnerable center of those of us who are listening.

And they’re comforting, soothing, supporting, and — most of all — helping us to tap into our own honest and authentic love and light. And I know from reading the many comments that I’m not the only one experiencing this (the comments are beautiful, actually).

And as crazy and hard and challenging as everything is right now, I’m also deeply appreciative of the fact that — because live performance isn’t currently possible — so many amazing artists are pouring their hearts and souls onto livestreams and virtual concerts, where they’re reaching infinitely more people than ever. Including me (thank you, God)!

So. All this is prompting some serious soul-searching on my part. Which is as it should be! I believe this is a time for all of us to be asking what is our honest and authentic offering? How can we best share our love and light with the world?

Wow! When I focus on life from this perspective I can honestly say: what a time to be alive!

P.S. Here’s yet more honest, authentic, love- and light-filled brilliance, performed to the Bengsons’ song…
