Somewhere amidst my recent depression, I had the good idea to just open the Bible and read whatever was presented. Luckily, I was led to this lovely verse in The Message interpretation of the Bible:
"A miserable heart means a miserable life;
a cheerful heart fills the day with song."
Proverbs 15:15
Interesting enough, every other translation never mentions music. Instead, cheerful hearts are the hosts of a perpetual "feast" or "banquet". But I kind of like the idea of a music filled life leading to joy. Isn't good music part of any good feast or reception?
So I've discovered old playlists I used to frequent and rediscovered music that makes me move, makes me think. I've also discovered new ones that do the same. Some have been so poignant; they've acted as catalysts in the dialogue I've been having with myself. It's been a good time.
Just wanted to note the blessing
