Music has played (pun intended) a bigger-than-usual role in my these past few months. I've always had a soft-spot for it. Some of my earliest memories are recording singing with my brother for my great-aunt and her teaching us how to play the autoharp (not a harp- it's a stringed instrument laid out like a piano, with 'dampers' that work like fingers do to create different chords for guitars and you pick at or strum it) and a little of keyboard as well. I proceeded to be in choir as soon as it was available (second grade, I believe. 'The Holly and the Ivy' being one of the songs we learned.) through high school, and some church choir into college. Since then, I enjoyed music mainly through listening to it but this year, as my life and our church have been going through some growth and identity-modifying, there's been this yearning to really worship and express and experience life and God in a way that other methods did not fully express. Music is getting me there. I have been playing my keyboard (well, besides now when it's out-of-commission) and those old hymns are a great way to center and start a day. It is great connecting with others musically as well- whether joining in song or being in the audience as they surround me with their beauty. My current choice for their soulful melodies is Harp46 . I know the members, who are great people, and there is just something special about their music- it goes beyond the intrigue of having a harpist among them. I hope you also have a way of connecting your soul with God (and for having something connect with your soul).
