Wipe your mouth into silence and listen with your ears

Wipe your mouth into silence and listen with your ears.

I grew up listening to classical and motown and classic rock and roll. I also played the trumpet in symphonic band pepband and pop. This grew me a ability to really hear and appreciate the different nuance in each piece. As it's been demonstrated a million times music can be the equalizer because U don't have to speak a certain language.  When U find a piece that has good musical qualities it can raise in U a brilliant level of creativity linked to your dreams and magical desires. The notes that come from the instruments go into the air and penetrate any walls as well as your heart through your ears. This is like smells to the nose bring U to different parts of your life music through your ears can do the same. Music is an expression that is like a snow flake no two R alike no note gets the same reaction in any one person. Although the sound power of the note disappears the universe still keeps a record of it in the cosmos. Music can and always takes U down a slightly different path even though U R hearing it again. In life there R so many elements through memory that enhance the imaginary trips we take and music will promise U that each time. Music can extend your life.
