If I were to attempt to put into words what the idea
of love means to me, I would have to say the creation of happiness. I can only
describe it as the chemistry of some rare pure materials + the act of you creating
‘something out of nothing.’ I recognize that there is no such thing as
‘nothing’ but I cannot help but see the correlation between the idea that the
concept of both love and music cannot truly be put into words. Not really, but
go find yourself in the company of someone you love or find yourself the
perfect music that makes your heart sing and you will know just what I mean. It
seems as if only by engaging in their presence can we truly reach the level of
understanding with which they work to inspire and help us create a better place in
which to, well, create more happiness.
When we think about music that we love, it is with
sincere appreciation for the compilation of all of those sounds blended
together in perfect harmony with the way we feel in their presence that brings
about our most sincere passions. There in is their magic. It makes us dream, it
helps us appreciate our surroundings, and live in a world where we don’t just
provide the minimum, we aren’t just there in our raw state of being, but instead
we are actively choosing to add just a little more. We have a rare and golden
opportunity to add a bit of love, or happiness, or whatever you want to call
it, and actively engage in bringing about a little extra cheer to the world.
That’s what I want for the holiday, for every day even, for my whole life.
The exchange and creation of love is not with words but
through our intent, through dreaming up a little magic and then bringing it
into reality. Drop the old, discard the fake, and what do you have left over?
That is where your heart is, that is what the essence of Love seems to be. How
we act out these expressions, whether it’s by way of music, art, or even
something as simple as a smile or a kiss, that is all our own, but in sharing
we have the pleasure of demonstrating to
those we love just how special they are to us. And so, in honor of that I wish
you all happiness.
Happy Valentine’s Day ;)
