The Poetry of Music

There’s something about music that brings me to a certain space or place. I hear a song and it can transport me back to yesterday or fifteen years ago. Blink 182’s “Miss You” comes on the radio and I think of my old job. Play Dave Matthews’ “Satellite” and I’m reminded of the shy sixteen year old version of myself. Blast Ton Loc’s “Funky Cold Medina” and I’m dancing in Vegas with a Red Bull and Vodka in my hand.

What songs bring you back to a particular moment in your life? What songs make you happy? What music creates the poetry that is your life?

Where do Mermaids come from?

As kids we all ask, where do babies come from? But now I want to know… where do Mermaids come from? Why? Because there are two of us in the office who just might be little mermaids. No, we don’t have red hair, but we’re terribly addicted to the water. Get the two of us swimming and we’ll never get out. Any pool, lake, ocean and we turn into small kids again. You could say that water’s like the fountain of youth for us. We splash in the water and we could swim for hours on end. Every trouble that existed, every doubt that surfaced in our minds is completely erased by the powers of water, salt and chlorine. Now, if we could only have a father who was the king of the sea and voices like bells we could live happily ever after under the sea. But I guess we’ll just have to settle for our times in the water as sisters and friends.

Are you on the bus?…

Or are you off the bus?…  That’s the question we want to pose to you.  Yes, we know, we borrowed a page from Tom Wolfe’s Electric Kool-Aid Acid Test, but we think it’s a relevant one.  In today’s world, where all of us are faced with so many choices, we think it wise to take a step back and think about what bus you’re going to get on.  Are you going to make like Mountain Girl and ride the bus to the end? Or are you going to take off on your own adventure? It’s up to you to decide the kind of life you want to lead. So take the time today and think about it… What bus are you going to get on? What kind of life are you going to create for you?
