Safety Zone
-
Artist:
Music makes me feel whole. At times when I am feeling picked apart by my own psyche, music wraps me in it's arms. When I feel misunderstood, music strokes my head and comforts me. It creates a safety zone for me. Here is where I am truly myself, in tune with myself. This is where I can sense that I am truly not just this isolated ego, locked in skin box. It's the soothing vibration of the universe that is everything, all of us, every thing.
Not all of us - well, hell, maybe most of us - aren't blessed with the best of familial relationships. Sometimes communication isn't so smooth and we get whacked in the head with a banana cream shame & guilt pie that oozes down our face and necks. It's taken me a while to learn not to do the slow burn and explode, but rather to let it sit until the emotional charge is gone. And while I'm sitting, the music cradles me; creates a safety zone where I can let it go.

Ain't it the truth? Amen!
Very true. As Gary Bartz said..music is my sanctuary..
Tell the truth, sister.
Word.
Yeah, what the hell is it about families?
I think it's got something to do with the theory of relative-ity.
