L'important C'est La Rose

If you find you’re all alone, 

and the knots of love have bound you,

 tho’ the clouds are all around you, 

there’s a rose; 

Love will come and love will go,

 do not waste another hour; 

There is beauty in a flower 

like a rose;

 You and I must play our part 

in this world that keeps on spinning;

 And our time will come for winning 

if we wait. 

There’s a petal and a thorn, 

there is beauty and there’s sorrow, 

and we all must face tomorrow

 like a rose.

For as sure as there’s a sky 

and the sun so high above us; 

There is one who’s meant to love us 

in this world; 

There is rhythm to our lives, 

there is rhyme and there is reason 

and we all must find our season

 like a rose. 

L'important c'est la rose crois-moi.

It's funny I should pick today - the 22nd of January, with no known or actual significance - to start a new blog.

This blog, however, will not be about myself, but about the people, places, things and events around me that kindle meaning and inspire beauty in my otherwise ordinary life.

This blog will be filled with music - not necessarily actual songs or melodies, but more importantly the musicians who produce them; those who are called together to create something beautiful with one another.

Join me and my musical colleagues on our journey, which is, more often than not, not actually about the music itself, but about how it shapes our very lives every step of the way. :)
