Music

"Music is Magic. Magic is Life"- Jimi Hendrix's last lyrics
Our world has become a full blown battlefield for the fate of the human race. Ti's a vicious and complex conflict that is what we live, whether we embrace or hide from it. Thus is it that in said conflict their are many weapons and fronts where the struggle rages. Being but singular vulnerable hominids, this is naturally a very terrifying state of affairs, such is our reality in this unprecedented year of 2008 Anno Domini. As the shots are fired all around us in a dizzying display of passion and power there is one dimension to this conflict in which we can take triumphant refuge and its presence is the inspiration of mankind; it's called music. I would have never made it to this moment to write these words without its transcendent glory to save me from myself. It is the soundtrack that records the tribulations of the human soul as it traverses the sordid madness of history. It allows us to dance in an age of despair, death and desire. It turns words from just commonplace necessities into mind blowing beatitudes that guide us on our different and identical journeys upon Earth. It is the most subversive force in an age of unbridled tyranny and control; constantly reminding us of a deeper vein in the human experience. In this era when they try to tell us how orderly and controlled the world should be, we must forever remember the wild thing that is MUSIC- and the indestructible and inexplicable beauty it incarnates.
"Open are the doors to the Deathless
to those with ears.
Let them show their conviction " -Lord Buddha
