"There is a great choice that awaits us every day: whether we go around
carving holes in others because we have been so painfully carved ourselves
or whether we let spirit play its song through our tender experience, enabling
us to listen, as well, to the miraculous music coming through others."
Mark Nepo
Music has played a vital part in all cultures whether it was created a breeze gently moving leaves in a tree or wooden pieces crafted into melodious tools. Rhythm has also been present throughout history as it has been used in marching, dancing, or singing. As human beings, each of us have a vibration that resonates out towards others.
We are aware of our own frequency, how it gets triggered and moves faster. Even the tone of our voice accelerates when confronted with opposition. We can label this rush in our cadence as adrenaline, but it is entwined with varying frequencies of emotions. Additional information about others can be easily gathered as we listen to the tone of the voice and the pace of the speech.
One word can be expressed lovingly or with loathing, so it is up to the listener to broaden the listening skills to truly hear what emotion lingers behind the words. Just as any individual portrays perception through personal skewed understanding, the listener can make the choice to open to the music or vibrations flowing from the soul of the speaker. Less time preparing a response, and more time capturing the music!
