Ethan, I feel that music is the Universal language that connects us all. It can convey happiness/sadness, lightness/darkness, deepness/inaneness, and joyfulness/anger. It enters our senses and channels its way down to our inner soul and gives us a way to release all energy that is pent up inside, so that eventually we are able to breath again. It connects us to what we are feeling. Your beautiful poem, "Why does music touch the soul?", was truly impactful and touching. I do feel that without music, we cannot find or go with the flow of our feelings and nature. Yesterday, when you did a kindness for me, it was like music to my heart! My daughter was touched by your special comments and was very grateful for what you did. Thank-you Ethan! You really are gifted with a good soul. Keep writing and being you!......Cabbagepatch
