Hotrerrr, I mnst bare realised tbla fact In my youth for uo opportunity wss lost to set things right with my¬ self and the world, I knew It sll. ' Tbere was no one who could tell me anylhing or teach me bnytbing that I hnd not Iieard or known before. As 1 look back on my youthful yesrs I am liound to deliver myself uf entire blame because there was no one to Instruct me In thc way of truth. My lot wss cast with tboae wbo. by Ihelr wits, earned whaterer was necee- lary for tbeir exialence. Tbc main Idea instilled into my mind waa to bloir It out on all occasions. Tbit was consid¬ ered among those I found around me as the highest form of education. Many of our present-day politicians bnve lenrned this leaaon In the aame school, and bare been able to bluff tbe public out of a good deal. I was In the country one day with a party of olber kids, who bad been given an outing by some chsrity, A gentle¬ man said to me, "Tommy, do you know anytbing about flying kites?" I replied, "Yep; all about It" It crossed my mind later In tbe dny thnt I would meet this same gentelmsn at tbe Newsboys' Retreat, wbere I usetl to go and enjoy a few boura In tbe ovcDing, I bad learned to read In this place, and bad found the accomplish¬ ment of great use to me. For tbis foollth remark, wblcb was at once a lle. a boast snd a straight bluff. I was obliged to delve In tbe books of tbe liltle library half tbe uight. and unlll my bead fairly split. He asked me the questions all right tbe next day, pinned me down to an anawer, nnd thought that be bad cnught me so that be could moralise about It. but t came up all right, looked him square In the eye. and was ro.idy with many answers that pleased him. He took to me and was tbe means of my first lift In the world. Strange to eny. I hnve never forgot¬ ten this Information and bave used It a thousand times since. Many bluffs of this nature were handled In the same way. causing an amount of mental lalxir entirely un- nrncpssnry. liut fllling my mind with useful knowledge. As I grew older, 1 lenrned a little by experience, but very liltle, for tbere seemril always tbe fool- Ish desire to pose ss sometmdy snd uevcr admit that I did not know. Among my nnsoolates of my own ng^ it waa nu ensy matter to bluff, but this ilid uot sntisfy the egollsin In my na¬ lure; I sllll faui-ied that It was evidence of Intrlleclual supremncy to pretend to liiiow more than 1 really did. This pre¬ tense naturally brought me in cou- tact Willi some higlier than myself, so that I was at timeg put to sore strslts. By tbiH lime I wss an expert on bluff, and had rluru steadily in my position, solely ns 1 see it now ou bluff, pure nml simple. During tlic i>eriml of my eniploynienl. Iiefiiro 1 linil heroine one of the flrm. mnny liiterosllng things occurred. I hnil many narrow escnpes. It wns freiiueutly eaid of me. "He knows n lol." This flattered me grent¬ ly. and 1 actually came to believe It myself. There was a remarkable lack of humiliating circnmstaucea In my pnrly life. 1 sui-ceeded In lilnfllng IhrouKli most trying rondlllona. II was my game and I 'earnetl to ploy II well. In uiy early liusiuess enreer. when¬ ever my hliiir was found nut. I simply souglit another pince aud generally wou on bluff, prcleniliug to knuw mudi, when 1 knew nutbing. I wonld lihiff some simple chap to tell me as much as he could about the work, anil Ibcn I would add my Muff, so little hy lillle, by slicking to the same liush ncss, I swung into a flne irasltioo of Irust in n hig concern. It wouid seem that here, at least, one wiiuKi he Batlsfle<l. I waa still unmar¬ ried, well to-dii nnd respected in my disirlrt. I rnfereil pollllcs on a dend StralKht hluff. won nut, and after serv¬ ing s.>veral terms In the Asaembly and in vnrinus ptilitloal iioaiilnos found my¬ self (iovernor. In Ihe sest of honor st the Stnte capllal. Monumental hluff hail secured for me wbat many men more wnrthy could not attain. I wan till- priile of my dislrict, and was point, ed out ns a model mnu, a flne charac¬ ter, stalwart and strong, a man of knowledge and reflnement. Only I knew the tarulb: I beld Ihe seirtl in my shallow soul. I knew I bad wnn nn bluff, nothing else. As (lovernor I awed Into silence those who were onto luy bluff, and those who lielii-ved in me were equally awed liy my A.<isumed greatneaa. Thia pleased and flallered me There were, however, nights of bard lahor. wben the nil hurned until daylight in roy apartment. No one knew wbat efforts were required to keep pace with my advanc<-weBt. Was any one ever to furtuuate Sk I? I only skimmed over the surface, acquired a few of the main facts and lo a clever manner wove Ihem intn any conrersaiion ibat was needed .\« I was considered an astute poliil-ian few attempted to differ with mr The arrange fact is tbat ibmagh ali this life of preieoee and bumbag no true reallsatinp of my ewn depravity dawned u|>oa me until laie lo life, and tben It came wilb such aoddeoeaa aod OTerwbelmiDg power, almosi too mucb for a kumao mind .Ka all my amblticoa of a aclflab aa- tuiT bad beeo aatlsfled by ceaUa fate I bad crowa to feel that tbere was Ut¬ tle daiifor for tbe rest of my days, Bhe had lifted me from many foolish pitfalla. and It aeamed to me that I ahould allp oot of life with my secret. wblcb I bad come to dread. Bat this same gentle fate material lied In tb* ahape of an accomplished woman of social position. She came Into my life so suddenly thst I fell n victim to tba ahafta of tbat youthful one with tbc tiny wings. Here acalD I used my monstrous bluff and we were married. The honey¬ moon was a bappy one. I bad bluffed the poblic, palled wool over tbe eyes of hnndreda of my fellow politicians., had played tbe charity and philanthropic bInS. Bnt woman waa a quantity I hnd not reckoned with. As our marrieil life IcDgthened ont 1 -was dally con- scloaa that tbere was a coldness grow¬ ing between ns, Tbis w-orrled me. Could It l>* possible tbat sbe bad seen through my sbsllow nnlure? Day hy day I grew more wretched, more nus- plcioua of tbe real tnith; day by day we drifted apart, iintll ber coldness froae my very soul. Never a word of reproach, never a complaint—Just a calm, stately dignity; a living In ber own pure, honest atmos phere. No criminal condemned to die In tlie chair could hgve suffered more nn- golsh nnd torture of mind thnn I did at that time. My exjierience In lifo bad taught me soniething, 1 rcnilzod that here I had found my innstor. lli-r radiant, honest soul shone ouly for lii-i- children. As for me I pnld tho liills. wss kind and even gentle In my faniliy life, but all to no purpose: bluff wmild not work with her. Yet ns I know It now. she patiently waited the turn of tbe tide. It cnme one day sooner ll^iu even I bad "suspected. An acquaintance of mine, during my stay at the State Houso, called tn learn somiitblng shout ii iiinttc-r nt which be Was sure I bad some knoivl edge, I knew nothing whntsoovi-r nf tbe matter, nnd on ordinary occnsion.-s would have bluffed it out. My wife was sitting In tho i-n.nn, calm, dlgnlfled, silent as the xplilux, A chill ran through me followed hy a flush like a fever, I grew cold, then pale, then red. It seemed as lliniish my head would hurst with the iiili-n.«i' Inlernal raging. There were tlinsi- twn human beings sirtlUR hefore mc, nne a bluffer, the olher nu honest woman. Tbey were wailing for n it-ply. It seemed as though I lived a whole life¬ time in those few seconds. I-'lunlly I blurted ont: "I do not know nnythlng ahout this mstter—or sny other." This was tho turning point. My friend looked at mo in disgust, soizod his hat and left the room. I was stunned; my life secret was out; I was a ruined man: my vnnlty bad destroyed mc; I wns alono. Suddenly I felt two soft nrms nhout roy neck. I saw two lovely deep eyes looking Into mine. I fell the world and Its foolish, childlike folly melt nwny.

Ue alia tpoko unadvisedly with hia lipa, calling tlip people "rebela," snd ha failed to acknowledge God in the miracle. The Lord immediately told Motet and Aaron that Ihcy would not be permitted to enter Canaan. C. "Serraut 01 the I.,OFd." Thit it a title of great dianity; Moaca had been eminent¬ ly useful. It K-st more hit honor to be the servant of thc Lord than to lie king o( Jeahurun.

There it a myatery in connection with thc death and Durial of Mosct; there arc some who think he waa immediately translated. "According to the word." Literally, at the mouth of Jeho¬ vah, Some of thc rahbina interpret it. By, a kits of .lehovah. The Jeruaalem Targum exprestly explains it, according to the sen¬ tence of the decree of Jehovah. The irest- ett men ore but inttrumenta in Qod a hands, and He can lay them aaide When¬ ever Ho chooaei. None aro indispensable with Him. Thit ahould, 1. Cause ut to sea our own littlcneia. 3.

From Judg * it appeart thnt Michael, the archangel, waa employed on this occation, and that Satt^n ditputed thc matter with him. Why did the Lord bury Mosei? It hardly teema probable that the object was tn keep ths Itraelitet from making hit tomb an object of idolatroua worship. The tomb of the pa- triarcha wot known, and the bonea of Joeeph were tben in camp on their way to burial, yet neither tombt nor bonee were worshiped. Thc following view of Kurta it worth considering: Jehovah did not in* tend to leave the body of Motet to comip* tion, but at the vcry time of his burial communicated eomc virtue by His own hand which asvcd the body trom corrup¬ tion, and prepared for the patriarch a tronaition intn the aame ttate of exiitenea into which Knoch and Elijah were ad¬ mitted without either death or burial. A« an example of iuitice Jehovah cauaed him to (tie before tne people entered thc land of rett and promise, but at an example ot grace lie prepared him an entrance into an. otiier land nl proiuiie and rett. This view, it alto held by thc Homiietic Commentary, and by tlie bpcaker'i nnd Whcdon'a com¬ mentaries. 7. "An hundred and twenty." The life of Mosea waa divided into three pcriodt ol forty years each. I.

Integrating music into our everyday lives.
My idea is all about making music and singing as a tool to set a positive cycle in motion that will encourage respect, communication and expression, which to me, are key ingredients to a society of individuals who can truly change the world.
No, this is not a new idea - but I think it's something we forgot how to do, and I want to help us remember.
I made a video to explain how we can reap the benefits of integrating music into our everyday lives called "Growing Back into Music", which you can watch here:
I'm so curious what you all think!
May 29 2013: Music has Spiritual Powers. No one really knows where Music came from but there are many theories that suggest music predates the existence of Mankind. One of the most commonly known uses for music was religious and sacred tribal events. In Mayan civilization music was used in celebration of a victory at war and even at the burial of influential figures.
Some of the earliest recorded moments in Music took place in the Medieval times with choral pieces for church prayers. Much emphasis was placed in the organization and use of specific harmonies to create moods that would illicit a spiritual experience.
Even today, many people claim that music is the key to God and to a holy, more fulfilling life through the Church.
And music is the Key to Creativity. Music fuels the mind and thus fuels our creativity. A Creative mind has the ability to make discoveries and create innovations. The greatest minds and thinkers like Albert Einstein, Mozart, and Frank Lloyd Wright all had something in common in that they were constantly exploring their imagination and creativity.
Listening to instrumental music challenges one to listen and tell a story about what one hears. In the same sense, playing a musical instrument gives you the ability to tell the story without words. Both require maximum right brain usage which not only exercises ones creativity but also ones intellect.
The strength of all the Arts including writing, painting, dance, and theater have the ability to create a similar effect.
May 29 2013: Thank you so much for this wonderful comment, Ahmed.
Music is indeed so incredibly deep-rooted, it's hard to imagine living without it!
May 30 2013: Not at all Lizanne this is my duty. And we should conserve the music because when words can't express the music is the language of our souls.
May 30 2013: That's a fact.
As Sir Ken Robinson said in his talk, "How to Escape Death Valley's Education":
The arts "reach a part of kids that are otherwise untouched".
That untouched part, is what music is all about.
http://www.ted.com/talks/ken_robinson_how_to_escape_education_s_death_valley.htmlMay 31 2013: Also one of the advantages of music is helping children to learn.
Music can also teach young children to be disciplined. If they have discovered that music is part of their being, they will impose strict compliance to instructions that will enhance their talent. Like for instance, they will be able to know the importance of following their mentors. In this way, they will most likely apply this training to be obedient to their elders too.
Jun 1 2013: Hi Ahmed,
Sure, music tells a story, it sends a message, it aids, it helps, it teaches, it encourages.
Yes, music teaches discipline, especially learning an instrument (as ling as the method of instruction is inspiring!!)
Although following mentors and discipline are important to kids, following their hearts and freedom of expression may arguably be more important... What do you think?
Comment deleted
Jun 2 2013: Don, you are a devoted grandpa indeed!
I love how you say, you let the kids teach you. This is idea is based on that very thing - allowing the kids to take the reigns and, with minimal guidance, create music about how they feel, which we undoubtedly can learn from!!May 30 2013: Really enjoyed listening to your perspective on music. Thank you for sharing! I feel very much the same and cannot imagine life without music.
After many years of doubting my capability to learn how to sing (you are quite right about the music industry, I think!), I decided to just try it and started taking singing lessons last autumn. I enjoy it so much - I wish I had not waited so long!
I also have noticed another aspect about singing, which I had not expected: For me, learning more about how to make sounds and how I can alter my breath and voice etc. brings me back to my self and my body. It let's me focus on the present moment in a very sensitive way, it's almost like a form meditation. I have learned a lot about my character and I have become more aware of myself through singing.
So yes, I agree with your view and I believe that there are even more benefits from integrating music in your everyday life - no matter how :)
Jun 1 2013: Thanks, Flurina, for your kind words, and kudos to you, for nurturing your love for singing! Yes, there are so many benefits! How wonderful you and your voice have found each other. The benefits truly are overwhelming, absolutely. Here's to wailing our hearts out!!May 29 2013: I have seen music give hope to people where there is none. I believe that it is a truly international language that unites humanity across the globe, regardless of class, culture or sex. It would seem that the commercialization of music, especially in the western world has done much to devalue it and twist it for the purposes of those who wish to simply seek profit. Music, however, is far to strong and adaptive to succumb, it has long been not only a unifying force over vast distances across the Earth but through time as well, connecting us with the both past and future simultaneously. As someone who grew up in a non-religious household, I read Nietzsche's quote to mean that music can elevate us beyond where and when we live and help one reach a higher sense of being, one we cannot fully understand. Though he framed this path to enlightenment it in a religious context, that is largely (well, arguably I suppose) a product of the age in which he lived and we should not let it blind us to the wisdom and insight in his words.May 28 2013: Has anyone heard of, or seen the Landfill Harmonic?
A small village in Catuera, Paraguay, is situated on top of a land fill. The people there literally live amongst garbage.
A group of local kids have found a way to bring joy and meaning to their lives through music, on instruments made out of trash:
May 28 2013: Lizanne.......I am speechless..........
"We shouldn't throw away trash carelessly...we shouldn't throw away people either"
This quote, from the video, says it all.....in my humble opinion.
Lizanne, thank you for sharing this, I will share it with others.
May 28 2013: Mary, I am so glad to read how this touched you!
I heard about this initiative about a year ago, and am so thrilled to see how enthusiastic and determined these kids are about their music. Not to mention, the great care and respect they have for their instruments.
May 29 2013: You know Lizanne, I think it goes beyond the instruments......they could have made the instruments and sold them as souvenirs somewhere....but notice that the "youth" of the area are the ones benefitting from this.
This place appears to say that the humans who live there are not worth much.
How could the government of that country allow what is happening there?
And, regardless, life dealt those people lemons......and they proceeded to make lemonade.
Goes to show we humans are ingenious. And our spirit to make something beautiful, out of something ugly, and to feed the spirit, is very very strong.
Wouldn't they make a great TED presentation?May 29 2013: Oh, Mary, you are so right! Indeed, the value of those instruments goes beyond money - they truly do cherish them, as if they were a part of themselves. It's a bizarre and beautiful paradox - reminding us all indeed, how wonderfully unique each and every individual on this planet truly is.
*gasp* I get butterflies in my stomach to think of the Landfill Harmonic doing a TED presentation! Is there a way to suggest them??
May 29 2013: I know that every once in a while a TED staff member will post a conversation about who we would like to see at a TED event.
But other than that, I guess you can email the TED team yourself.
Go for it!!!!
(Ask for a free ticket to the event...hahaha......oh, and one for me for suggesting the idea woohoo)May 29 2013: I will, Mary!! :)
May 29 2013: We have a link on this site for recommending speakers! http://www.ted.com/nominate/speakerMay 29 2013: Thank you, Fritzie! I actually found someone via the 'About TED' link, and already received a reply!
Great news, is that the Landfill Harmonic is already known to TED! This is the reply I just got:
"We're very familiar with the Landfill Harmonica and already have them in our speaker/performer database.
We really value your effort on this, as we find many of our speakers through recommendations from the community."
Fingers crossed TED can set up a presentation with this amazing, inspiring initiative we can all learn from!!May 23 2013: Hi Lizanne,
The philosopher I was referring to was Friedrich Nietzsche. I'll give you the quote he says about music:
"God has given us music so that above all it might leaps us upwards. Music unites all qualities: it can exalt us, divert us, cheer us up, or break the hardest of hearts with the softness of its melancholy tones. But its principle task is to lead our thoughts to higher things, to elevate, even to make us tremble"
I personally don't believe in God but I think that is a great quote nonetheless because I believe music does have that effect on us. I'm sure you would agree.
that is very cool that your are getting your children involved with this idea as well. That is very neat. What I like about dance is that you are literally actively creating with each movement. It find if fascinating although I am not much of a dancer. Great conversation and I hope you enjoyed the quote as much as I did.
May 25 2013: Orlando, this quote gives me the chills! It truly does embody how I also feel about music. Thank you for sharing this.
I also agree with you, that movement is a natural reaction to music, especially for children.
When it comes to dancing, I am completely uncoordinated, but I won't hesitate to sway, step, shake and shimmy to a beat that touches my soul!
Brian Pelosi
May 7 2013: I agree, especially when you referred to music as being a universal language. I've been working with students with severe disabilities lately, and what I have seen is that one thing that these students have in common with their non-disabled peers is that they both love music. Listening to music is a very relaxing and soothing activity for them. Getting these students to play music and become familiar with the instruments is a different challenge though.
- +2
Music can also become an important outlet for students, especially during their teenage years when they may feel alone or misunderstood. It can also help to develop creativity and identity. Music is a part of our everyday lives. We hear music everywhere we go. I think that understanding and developing an appreciation for music is something that can definitely benefit our students.
May 7 2013: Hi Brian,
music therapy is a wonderful thing, and I am full of admiration for anyone who takes on the task of helping disabled people benefit from music's healing qualities!
Making music can be challenging, especially when the expectations are too high. Which is why I feel there should be no expectations. That singing is literally a question of just opening up your mouth and letting it out!
I've just been reading an article about anxiety in teens, and how simply listening to music can relieve tension. Singing has even more positive biological effects - it releases endorphins, for one! If I could only work out how to engage teens who are self-conscious and embarrassed about singing out loud to participate in this idea...
May 7 2013: I think you can get teens to sing quite easily, if they are singing in groups.
Example: March 14 is sometimes called Pi Day, because pi starts 3.14. On the internet one can find pi day songs, which are pi-related lyrics put to popular tunes, like Happy Birthday or Jingle bells.
Not only have I surprised secondary school students in my math class by pushing those lyrics under the document camera and just saying, "okay, all sing!" but I have scooted for a minute into a neighboring math class and made the same move. I have posted the lyrics in the hallway as well and seen kids stand at the display singing with their friends.
The key is groups. Young people enjoy the stress-free unexpected.
May 8 2013: Fritzie, you've hit the nail on the head about singing in groups.
I found out during my research for this idea, that choral groups are apparently healthier and happy because they sing together! This study shows how singing together can be therapeutic - possibly more so than individually... an interesting concept that could indeed 'solve' the problem of getting insecure teens to sing out loud!
Jah Kable
Jun 5 2013: LIZ YOU NAILED IT! Your video is very inspiration too! You have encouraged me on my post and I greatly appreciate that! I wholeheartedly believe that you are nothing but right about this! Keep the ideas coming you have a beautiful mind and an even better attitude! You are an inspiration to many and i see your kids are already expressing similar traits. Teaching their friends how to express themselves! Simply amazing! Keep it up!
- +1
Jun 5 2013: Jah, I certainly will! Thank you so much!Jun 5 2013: As mentioned by Mary and Pabitra, this conversation is indeed coming to a close. I just want to say thank you to everyone who contributed, your thoughts, ideas, comments and insights have been truly invaluable!!
As a parting gift, I have created a sequel called "Growing into Music part 2":
My wish is coming true already, thanks to you all.
Jun 5 2013: Great part 2 video Lizanne!!!!

You've inspired my 'inner goofball' ....I'll have to jot down the songs we "wing" in the next few weeks.
All the best to you and your family.
I'll keep an eye out for information and ideas that you might benefit from.
Thanks for the tiger balsam suggestion, I'm going to pick some up.
Mary ♫
Jun 5 2013: Sounds like a wonderful way to pass the time while you recoup, Mary!!

Most people who listen to music do it to distract or entertain themselves and I hate when people change songs before one has finished.
I think a great place to begin is to teach people how to listen! To great melody, harmony, the depth of a note, the planet, trees, each other.
In some cultures music is used to learn and memorize things and this is indeed something that current educational systems refuse to capitalize on. (check this out...learn basic swahili through song! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fK0wPpLryc4)
Great nations were bound together by music, through nationalistic songs etc. Maybe you should compose a ted anthem!
May 25 2013: Thanks to you both, Umaid and Juliette!
Umaid, you are so right - in order to utilize the natural benefits of music, it needs to start with silence, listening to one's 'own rhythm', in order to allow feelings and emotions float to the surface. By learning how to listen to themselves, kids can learn how to listen to each other.
Juliette, what an amazing talk, thank you for sharing this!!
Trust is a big part of this concept. It's all connected - respect, communication, expression, based on trust and empathy.
I also love the idea of a TED anthem!! Wow, I would want to incorporate musical influences from all countries represented here on TED - how many are there, I wonder??
May 30 2013: If you click on the "TED community" up on top of this page, you can see all the different countries TED members come from.May 23 2013: I like this idea very much. :) Vibrational frequencies form, shape, and create all matter and the world we live in.
May 25 2013: Absolutely, Nicole!
Yesterday, I was talking to my kids about our bodies. When we got to 'the heart', the searched for their heart beats, and were pretty excited when they found them! My son said, "Mama, I have my own little drum inside me!"
Being in tune with those vibrations through silence and self-exploration, then allowing them to take shape in an abstract way is what music is all about.May 20 2013: Lizanne, wanted to add to my other post, just a question, have you ever just listened in an absolutely quiet room, literally and figuratively where you can actually hear a pin drop, where you can hear your own heart beat, where you can feel more than ever before.
Because of your last kindness, I wanted to and so I thought I'd share this with you.
May 21 2013: Tify, these are amazing videos! Thank you so much for sharing these!!
The 2nd video, with those 5,000 children meditating, just sent shivers down my spine. The concentration, the total surrender to their inner selves is truly inspiring.
When I see this, I see how our thoughts on this are actually so similar! We both share a passion for the importance of self-exploration, which can only happen in silence. Daring to look that deeply into yourself takes a huge amount of courage. And expressing it, likewise.
Thank you again, my dear friend!
May 24 2013: I laughed when I read it, I smiled when I read it, I loved that I read it.May 21 2013: Tify, your comments have led me to an epiphany!
I think, in my haste to get this idea 'down', so to speak, I overlooked the essential aspect of silence.
How can music emerge, without it?! Silence is about allowing yourself time to reflect, about diving deep into oneself. It is the very cornerstone of building empathy.
It's not about answers 'out there', but about the ones inside us.
Thank you again!!!
May 24 2013: If you read the above comment, I laughed...
I read your epiphany comment Lizanne, i love you because you have self-realized, there is -no- embarrassment -nothing- to be ashamed of, to write that you've trying to find the light. It was a brave statement, one that truly deserves the praise of the highest merit.
Because in a world where saying "dont know" is looked on a nearly a sin and everyone avoids it, you have shown the only true way forward, is by two people communicating, sharing, understanding, thinking an not begin afraid to throw away, or build on something.
It's so incredibly important, and yet it so many times over looked, we have to know ourselves, in order to know and understand others, regardless of color, creed or country.
To me the only thing we really have in this world, is not a iphone, not a car, not a large house, no the only thing that really matters and lifts our souls, just like a child's, is the connections and the emotions that sharing give us. Be it through the contact and beauty of finding each other in our minds or in our bodies.
I think we are, the rivers, the mountains, the oceans, the countries, we are and the connections we make to ourselves and humanity are what truly matters. Be it our children, our lovers, friends, or people we have yet to meet, these things are the human experience. A smile, love, sex, hugs, laughter, wink, all are expressions that we've made that connection.
Art, music, dance are simply the expressions of that too, in mankind's feeble way through; the visual, the audible, or movement; to express such connections. There is yet another way, it's the only we have Lizanne words.
That form of communication, the ability to express ourself is, what has taken us from cave paintings to the internet; even though the medium(s) have changed over 4000 years, the need, the desire to make that connection has not evaporated, and I'd safely say it never will.
Not for us, not for children, nor of future generations.
May 25 2013: Tify, you are a true inspiration!!!!!
xxxMay 25 2013: Thank you Lizanne, some people are worth the effort, so I try :)
And always it's a pure pleasure when I get to meet people without dogma, who are receptive to new and different perspectives, because it allows a flow of consciousness that elevates one's thinking. What's particularly nice is when they get that moment of clarity, that moment of insight, that epiphany.
Whats particularly amazing about you Lizanne, is it did not take much work :) And in that lays an answer that says something about you, that it truly means you are a special person, and even though you feel no older than a kid, your children have a special mother. To have one like that that can change and see insight and act on it, it's an incredibly valuable commodity to have for your children's growth as you will be able to give them the possibilities, those moments that you had, your children can expect to have too as they grow up.
It means, as you've said before Lizanne, that we are more alike the more we've connected as the more you have read. And since that's true, then you will show those children of yours, the path, just like I hope I've helped you to the moment of your epiphany. I hope you too approach it the same way, where you don't force them down a road, but guide them, you too humbly allow them to find their own moment of revelation and revel in it.
And in that revelation which can be in harmony of music, the visual pleasure of art, the imagination in literature, the beauty of mathematics, the glory of history, you let them discover world and all that it has to offer, with a gentle and invisible hand holding theirs, but remember ... don't hold on too tight :)

May 15 2013: Today on NPR I heard an interview with a Tampa journalist named Jeff Klinkenberg.
He actually conducted an experiment to see what happens when music is played to alligators.
Mind you, it is a certain key on the musical scale.
Here is a link to a video of the experiment, and a small article.
May 16 2013: This is crazy, Mary!
He wrote a book, too, apparently.
What surprised me, is how quickly the alligator reacted to the tone! Instinctive. Amazing!
May 16 2013: Isn't that crazy?
I was cleaning yesterday, and turned on NPR, which I don't normally do.....but the programmed being aired was on Florida Wacky stories. So I said, why not?
Lo and behold, the second story was this one.
The more I listened, the more I thought it would have a terrible ending, like someone would get hurt or something like that.....but no, nothing of the sort.
Isn't it amazing. I told my husband and he just stared back like I was pulling his leg. I couldn't get him to believe me. :/ No more rags for him this week, I'm cutting his quota.May 14 2013: This is cool Liz!
My mom sang to my brother and I when we were growing up. We don't sing as much anymore. :-( But now that I think about it, it seems like people decide at a certain age that singing becomes "unacceptable" and that's kind of strange and unfortunate.
I was in choir for seven years in junior and senior high school. It was a really great experience, some of my favorite memories. I honestly believe I learned a lot more than just how to read sheet music and sing my part for a song correctly. I learned a lot about teamwork, communication, especially how to give and take constructive criticism which benefited me throughout college when I was studying industrial design, which constructive criticism plays an important role.
And that part about the music industry, that's messed up and so true.
May 16 2013: Casey, thanks for sharing your experiences in this! Choirs are the best. I sang in one too as a kid, and now I direct one! There are many studies that show how singing in a choir, singing together with others, can teach you so much, and is a huge health benefit, like this recent study:

May 14 2013: Carolyn, thank you so much for sharing this!
I think it is a wonderful way to show others, that integrating music can be as simple as this - just doing it. Humming, whistling, playing a ditty, singing and playing, no matter what anyone thinks (especially the neighbor's cat!!) ;-)
Like I said, this idea is nothing new. You've been doing it a lot longer than I have, so if anyone should be looked up to, it's you!May 14 2013: Did anyone see Commander Chris Hadfield's version of David Bowie's "Space Oddity", performed from outer space?
I think, what thrilled me even more than this musical tribute and farewell, was the fact that someone thought a guitar was as important as any other 'instrument' needed in space.
May 14 2013: "floating in my tin can......" Precious precious video.
Thank you for sharing this Lizanne......I will share it with my neighbor.....an amateur star gazer who is fascinated with the ISS.
Have you seen the ISS pass over you guys?
We have seen it pass above our head several times.......it is quite a site.
A guitar.....just as important as any other "instrument".......yes, how wonderful that he took it up there huh?
May 14 2013: We recently downloaded an app of a rocket being launched into space, and as it orbits the earth, the ISS passes by... I am inspired by this tribute, and the TED talks on this topic, to educate my kids about this! They're (finally) old enough to grasp the hugeness of it all... exciting!

May 13 2013: That it does. Thank you, Adesh!May 10 2013: Hi Lizanne,
Thanks for a great contribution.
For me music, although I don't make it anymore and do not intend to, is still a sort of a sanctuary, a personal way to get rid of negative emotions and enhancing the positive. It may be a bit of jogging with aggresive sound in my ear-plugs to ease the tension, it may be seeking some confirmation (there are people in the world who are like you, feel the same way, here's some music as a proof of that), it may be a lot of things to a lot of different people.
I started at a music school at the age of 6, it killed some of the passion due to the fact that the system I was placed in was not about celebrating the arts, but about figuring out the system behind the arts. I felt I was being trained in the system, not inspired to create and when I was finally placed in a composition class, there were teenagers around me, they were bigger and more confident than me and their presence scared me, I mean it.
Tori Amos can also help here - she started making her own music at the age of 4, she was in a conservatory, but left it to play in bars. She believes in individuality and emotions in music, her summary and comment on the choice she made was "you can't make love to a metronome, right?"
It's good to learn about the system, the scales, the rhythms, but never forget that it's art you're dealing with, not just a rigid system.
May 10 2013: This is such an important point, Anna! Thank you for bringing this up!
How sad to read that the system killed some of your passion for music!!!
I also know too many talented individuals who have lost their desire to make music due to the 'rigid system' you describe! As soon as making music becomes a 'must' instead of a 'want' by someone else, then the reason to make music is lost. This system is all about instilling a fear of failure, which is the exact opposite of what my idea is all about.
It comes back to our ideas of success, like in your conversation: http://www.ted.com/conversations/18259/what_is_your_definition_of_suc_1.html
At the end of the idea, our own idea of success (especially when we are young) can be either supported or destroyed by those who provide guidance. When dealing with a form of expression, that guide needs to be open-minded instead of fixed on a certain method of execution. Kudos to Tori, for discovering that at such a young age!

May 9 2013: WOW Bogdan, how can I thank you for sharing this?! It's truly amazing, and makes so much sense!
I love the last paragraph, it brings tears to my eyes.
"You may not have grown up in an African tribe that sings your song to you at crucial life transitions, but life is always reminding you when you are in tune with yourself and when you are not. When you feel good, what you are doing matches your song, and when you feel awful, it doesn't. In the end, we shall all recognize our song and sing it well. You may feel a little warbly at the moment, but so have all the great singers. Just keep singing and you'll find your way home."

May 9 2013: :) You already did! And you're welcome!

I also want to thank you for making me more aware about music and all what's related to it.
Since I read your idea and engaged into this discussion I was more and more aware of music, my music and now this article.
So once again, thanks for helping me grow! (i consider each piece of information a step further in our growth as human beings)
May 10 2013: Bogdan, how wonderful that you have become more aware of the music that's already in you, that's an achievement we can both celebrate!!

I thought your video was very interesting and I really like your idea.
I am a mostly self taught filmmaker/musician. I think I've always had a love of music, but I haven't always liked the way it's been taught at least in elementary school. I think the first thing teachers should do is get their students excited about learning music they actually like and not just "Row row your boat" type songs. This isn't always possible to start with learning their favorite song, but I think it should at least be a goal they work up to.
I'm trying to start an online art community to help alleviate stress. I know how much music and other arts have helped me, so I'd like to compile some resources. Here's the link if anyone's interested and you're welcome to join.

"Babies and young children are like the R&D division of the human species," says psychologist Alison Gopnik. Her research explores the sophisticated intelligence-gathering and decision-making that babies are really doing when they play. http://www.ted.com/talks/alison_gopnik_what_do_babies_think.html
This to me is where the the magic begins. all the good singers, all had mothers who sang and played music. this is where we break the patterns . . as well as instill the values and views. . this is Sir Ken Robinson's favourite. .
to me? we are cosmic in nature and divine by design
from the moment of conception we absorb the feel of every sound, sense it all. . indeed are being programed from the word go as we are fast forwarded through all the billions of years of memoryes of life's taking form and we assimilate linage and locale . . every cell of our being knows enough to function within the body of our sense of beingness, the sum of any is greater than its parts, one would think, we would like wise, innately follow up our purrpoise and play . wish you much success
