Oblivious Dissemination

There are endless attempts as to what love truly is, I guess because it’s such a mystery that is so often hidden in plain sight.

Love can bring so much joy and so much sorrow, it can be free but then be caged and locked. I never really have romanticized about trying to conquer it’s meaning, all I know is what I feel.

I felt love yesterday at a level I hadn’t in quite some time and it was beautiful.

So my wife asked me to make her a mix CD of soulful love songs from back in the day. I really enjoy making these mixes especially for her, so when she asks I’m eager to get right on it. I sorted through the thousands of discs I have and pulled out a big stack of with songs I felt would make this a mix she would enjoy. I was able to find 20 songs that I thought would do the job and I started the mix. Some of these songs made me feel so deeply that I got tearful while listening to their beauty and power. A couple of hours later the mix was done and it was time for the big reveal.

I told her it was ready so she sat down next to me and I started to preview the songs I had selected for her. I can’t describe what happened but I can tell you it was the best description of love I had witnessed and felt for a long time. The music with the love we have for each other gave us a magical moment that had us both crying. The power was amazing and something I wish I could capture for eternity, it was 100% love.

So is music love?

Music certainly at that moment in time created an awareness of love and created something special that I will cherish forever.

I love music and I love my wife
