Laugh or cry is our choice in life when presented with the little trials and tribulations of the day.
When the sun is low in the sky you can see the snow of everyday life. There are the dust motes, feathers, bits of hair...all the things that make up the world around leave tiny bits of themselves floating past the rest of us to breathe in...or to listen to.
A cars brakes screeched loudly. Then I heard it. A bass line just started in my head. It ran and looped. The brakes made the highlight. A high hat, a time keeper.
The birds played a chord. A train in the distance blew its horn in synchronicity with the rest of the piece.. Everything just fit together with no effort from me. Like breathing.
This...THIS is also laugh or cry. We can choose to hear what music is all around us or we can hear only noise...discord.
In five minutes of opening Band In A Box I had a new composition - Early Earth Music.
Damnit - laugh with me. We can make the world a wonderful place just by dancing to the rhythms that surround us.
