I never considered the fact that we are ushered into the world with music. Even the sounds heard in utero could be considered music. And as we exit the world, music is used to create a mood and assist with the process. Thanks for the fresh approach and the ability to see things from a different angle.

It’s a wonderful form of expression – whether its happiness, sadness, tranquility, motivation or getting you all riled up. I believe that our physical, mental, emotional and spiritual selves require music. If you think about it, we go through life in musical accompaniment; when we're newborns we get rocked to sleep by that particular lullaby, as a toddler you play/sing "patty cake, patty cake, bakers man...", adolescents will be a rebel through that wonderful stage in life with their own musical tastes, romantic ballads will bring two lovers together, etc…Whatever you choose to do, whether it’s doing work around the house, working out, at work, driving in the car or simply a family gathering - music can and will enrich that experience. There is music everywhere, in all walks of life – the sound of the water rolling against the rocks in a river, the birds singing, crickets chirping, the rain, the ocean tiding on shore. So in conclusion, you may not think of the same things on your next run if that same play list goes through your ears and enters your mind however some memories will be associated with it – for example, when you run past that area where the chipmunk “ran for cover” you’’ probably laugh to yourself. After reading that I couldn’t help but laugh because I could totally see you doing that – and so what if someone saw you – if anything you’d inspire them - you’re too cute!! ;) I really enjoyed this blog, like the others, it’s been very thought provoking subject and am glad you posted it!
