Music's in my soul

making music is really the only thing that saves me from despair when everything else fails.

because when i am playing my flute or the piano or the guitar and I'm concentrating on the sounds and tones and notes and melodies and harmonies and rhythms and there is no room in my head for anything else, and the sounds fill me up to my finger tips and my tippy toes and I can't begin to wrap my mind around how beautiful and complex music is and how my body's sounds and motions fit perfectly within the music that I make...my heartbeat and my breathing and the way my tummy grumbles...and the world around me goes away and it is just me and my insturment and my music...

when that happens,
I feel no pain.
