Could you hear the music?

http://www.iwrotethisforyou.me/2014/02/the-world-whispers-songs-softly.html

I read this book a little over a year ago, and I still remember how I felt when I did. It is a brilliant little book—beautiful, inspiring, filled with things I wish Id written.

There is also a website, that I can easily get lost in, clicking on the FIND A RANDOM ENTRY link. When I did, just now, the quote I found was "And then my soul saw you and and it kind of went 'Oh there you are. Ive been looking for you.'"

This one, the one that was posted on Facebook today, speaks straight to my heart. I am purposeful in hearing the music every day. There isn’t a thing I want to miss. If I hadn’t ever looked at this book, all the wonderful things I would’ve missed. The way the author thinks about things, the inspiration that one, or two, or twenty simple lines of prose coupled with a beautiful photographic image, would have been something I never had the joy of experiencing. 

I’m in a place where I’m thinking about the importance of each day, making the most of it, never forgetting to say "I love you." But even if I weren’t, if I allowed myself to fall back into the rhythm of life where paying more attention to the things that irritate me took precedence over being mindful of the joy, this book would bring me right back where I want to be.
