Scenes from the Journey: Sound Away

Sunday, March 8, 2015

I have a friend whose sister told her,

when she was five,

never to sing

because her voice was too ugly.

I believe we are energy beings,

vibrational beings,

affected by any sound

that twangs or chimes or hums

our energy into different configurations,

just as a magnet affects iron filings.

When the sound that vibrates us

comes from within our own selves,

imagine how that soothes, excites,

and harmonizes us.

The sound rippling through our fields

creates lapping wakes that enliven our cells.

This is why we sing.

This is why we chant.

This is why we tone, hum, create overtones

through the hollows of our mouths.

My friend was silenced at the age of five.

That was a sin.

A little noise or a large one,

we need to make our noise

to save our souls.
