"A painter paints pictures on canvas. But musicians paint their pictures on silence." ~Leopold Stokowski. "Music is life. When the first is absent, so is the second." ~Tonya Showalter. There is comfort, strength, insight, hope, structure, joy in reading and listening to it. There is a richness and depth of understanding that comes intrinsically from hearing someone's words set to it. Music is powerful. Creativity weaves itself into every song, recreating the passions and thoughts and emotions of the moment to share with someone else. There is no greater power in the world than a thinking mind that God takes hold of. May your day be inspiring. Don't lose sight of who you are among what is going on around you. Don't lose sight of hope. You are loved beyond measure! God bless us, Tonya
