“Music in the soul can be heard by the universe.”

“Music in the soul can be heard by the universe.” -Lao Tzu

In a recent interview, Goldie Hawn was talking about a time when a song was playing on the radio and she got so excited that she stopped her car, got out and started dancing. The man behind her got out and started dancing too.

This is joy! This is having the music of the soul being heard by the universe.

Can you imagine having the joy it takes to abandon yourself to it. To sing, to dance, to create, to display that joy to the world, never being self-conscious, never giving it a second thought.

I have met a few people like this. There was an older man who looked like he was full of joy. When he smiled, all his wrinkles lined up. There were deep wrinkles that could only have been caused by smiling for hundreds of hours. It was almost impossible to not feel joy in his presence.

I knew a fantastic singer. Her voice could still a thunderstorm. It almost sounded like there were several people singing when she sang. Haunting, effortless, Sylvan sounds. No one could hear her without being affected.

I desire to have more of these kind of people in my life. To listen to the music of souls.
