“Music expresses that which can not be said and on which it is impossible to be silent.” -Victor Hugo

“Music speaks what cannot be expressed, soothes the mind and gives it rest, heals the heart and makes it whole, flows from heaven to the soul.” – unknown

“I have no pleasure in any man who despises music. It is no invention of ours: it is a gift of God.” – Martin Luther

“Most people live and die with their music still unplayed. They never dare to try.”          -Mary Kay Ash

Find your song, whatever it is, and play it.  It is beautiful, and it is yours, given by God.

Thinking about doing

A conundrum of a title for a conundrum of a problem….how to get a dreamer to move to action.   As a writer and musician, I have no problem with the dreaming and thinking part.  I love that part: planning, thinking, creating things in my mind.  The rub?  The nitty gritty of actually doing everything, moving out of my mind and into real action.  So I am hereby inspiring myself into motion this morning with a few good quotes on the subject.

-“Words may show a man’s wit but actions his meaning.” – Benjamin Franklin

-“Action speaks louder than words but not nearly as often.” – Mark Twain

-“It’s not what you’re dreaming, but what you’re gonna do.” – U2

-“Start where you are; use what you can.” – Persecution Project Foundation, www.persecutionproject.org (check it out; help the Nuba/South Sudanese people today!)

-“Faith by itself, if it is not accompanied by action, is dead.” – James 2:17

Hmmm….I better get moving.  Have a wonderful day!  Slainte, Lisa
