Wandering Along the Path: Right Speech

My daughter sent a video of my granddaughter singing at her school talent show with her good friend.  They were amazing.  The song choice was wonderful:  empowering, wise, a great message.  Their voices were lovely and the music catchy and interesting.  Seeing her stand on the stage and be so poised and confident was a joy.  I wish I had been there.  Music is important in all my kids' lives and now in the three grandchildren.  My granddaughter loves playing piano and singing her heart out.  Her voice has gotten more controlled and distinctive as she's grown.  She's about to be ten.  The two year old grandson wants to play violin, loves all his toy instruments, and will sing for the camera.  The year old grandson like the older one, loves to dance and play his tamborine, a drum, carachas and the piano.  He's started to sing spontaneously as we stroll him to the part.  I love it all, because music is a spiritual gift that strengthens us and gives us inner resources as well as voicing our emotions.  Whatever becomes of their passion for music, it is in their lives to stay and sustain them whatever their lives have in store for them.
