Hi All,
I suppose the first thing for me to say is; I feel you can cope fairly well with these"dark times" through music to
actually touch and reach your inner self by this medium. With-out sound in our life we might as well lop an arm or a leg off! In the course of my life music was the antidote for almost everything that came my way. The Classic Rock and what have you.
One day though at a time when things were going
pretty smoothly, I was out with friends and having a few
laughs over a cup of coffee when out of the corner of my eye
I saw a man who'd been at a booth having a meal. After a while I started to see that he was handicapped, the man was deaf. At that moment the pit of my stomach felt heavy and
burdened. How could this be? what is happening here? what
do I say? how should I react? I asked myself, was this a physical handicap or a mental disability? It became harder
for me to get my head around this guy and soon I noticed
he was becoming uncomfortable at my constant gaze. Nevertheless I couldn't help myself and so I quickly paid
up the bill and left. Of all the five senses, hearing must
surely be the grandest of them all. A babies gurgle, a dog
barking, a concert, a compassionate whisper. Let me give
you a heads up, if you sincerely listen and consider what's
being said and not only the sounds but; tone, pitch, lively,
relevant, and sincerity, maybe that will be enough to make
those "other voices" be less of a threat. Please give some
discussion about these things, I would be happy to hear
from anyone. Thank-you.
