I've recently been introduced to a new way of thinking. Perhaps I shouldn't say new, because I'd like to think that I've always been this way, but that part of my brain just hadn't been truly tapped yet. The thought that you can listen to any
good , or
well done music, and be able to relate to what the composer or artist is trying to convey. No matter what language it is in, or if it is purely instrumental, you can benefit from the beauty of it. My friend at work who is from Morocco recently made me a CD of music from Morocco, India, Tunisia, Egypt, Spain, Greece, France...and I can't stop listening to it. Especially when I'm cooking, because most of it has a sweet rythm to it, I get into this mode and its so much fun! I've always enjoyed music and tried to be open minded, but sometimes when you don't understand the words its hard to really get into it. And I'm one of those people who likes anything I can sing along with, so it threw me off a bit at first not being able to follow. So we've been listening to it at work sometimes when its just me and him working at night and its so fun. He's really taught me alot, and he likes to ask me questions about stuff too, so it makes for some interesting conversations when there are only 10 reservations on the books for a Sunday night (our slowest night).
