Joel, it is such a great name! I LOVE the meaning because it suits him to the tee! Happy kid! Have you published your book? I hope this finds you doing well. ox
Thank you so much friend! It’s amazing what we learn through music! So many of the great composers explained their circumstances, and visions of places and things, through the compositions they wrote. I can always hear joy, dance, sadness, war, peace, etc., through classical music. And how on earth our brains are wired is amazing that we can create, and/or take in and receive — even when we are broken there. Music therapy has proven to awake the brain. ox
The arts, when they have done their job, leave you with the gift of belonging to something spiritual.” This is exactly how I feel after listening to a great song or gazed at a beautiful painting or photograph. That uplifting feeling gets imprinted into our souls and fuels inspiration, creativity and love. Beautiful post. 🩷
Thank you Grace! It truly is a gift to receive something so special you never forget. It’s like a warm hug or when you truly feel loved. So uplifting. I feel beyond blessed to appreciate music and art. You just want to disappear into it right?
Thank you so much Mark! I absolutely LOVE classical — but as you know, whatever moves me! LOVE that you are a Felix fan. It’s such a blessing to take in all the stories of these old composers. Amazing.
I have a character in my book, Cascade, named Asher—a good name which means Happy or Blessed.

Published No. Cascade is on my site. So is Life of Bāo.
You are too good, Deb! Music...one of the healers of the soul and spirit!
Thank you so much Wendy! I don’t know what I’d do without music!! ox
I’ve not heard of this cave before! Thank you for sharing this. This is a great piece of writing centred on joy 🤗

I believe that. Music touches the soul. It can heal or it can cause great pain.
Deborah, you are so right in saying, “
