“When you take a poem or a piece of music deeply into your heart, it can carry you beyond the boundaries of the familiar into what the poet Lala calls the “Self within self.” Here it is possible to undo clichés of thought and feeling, patterns of mind that can hold you in cycles of suffering.” - Beyond Words: Poetry and Music as Passion, Prayer, and Practice

Remember the words to that song, “what the world needs now, is love, sweet love”? And that familiar Beatles’ song, “All You Need is Love”? The need seems stronger than ever. Healing music opens the hear to love.

As you visit these pages, turn up your speakers or put on your headphones, read and then close your eyes and relax into the music. Let the music travel into the deepest places of your heart. Set your mind free. Truly unwind. Let go of whatever has been hanging you up, preventing you from being the perfection that you are.

Only by letting go of fear, loneliness, grief, despair, anger, and hatred can we open our hearts to love and peace.

Have a blessed, joyous day filled with peace and harmony.
