Musical Choices

 Friday, May 30, 2014….I think Winter is trying to make a come-back?  Rainy and very Cool….I refuse to complain!

Yesterday I got an email from my Supervisor of the Facility, telling me one of my Hospice Patients, a young man, loves Led Zeppelin and any other Classic Rock Band…I quickly downloaded "Stairway to Heaven" and then gave my choice some thought….should I play it because the title is suggestive, especially in his position?  So I decided to play a few Beatles, Dylan and so on and he loved it….I told him I only had one Zeppelin song, gave him the title and he looked at me (he is unable to speak) and shook his head yes with a big tear down his cheek.  I can tell you, I almost could not play and as I write this to you I feel that emotion coming to the surface again.  

I pretty much botched up the tune because I hadn't practiced it, but it was simple enough to play the theme and get through it.  I finished his Session with "I will Always Love You" Dolly Parton/Whitney Houston, which I always play for him before I leave and pointed to my heart and he just looked at me and shook his head again.  Wow, what an afternoon.

Yesterday was one of those days when I needed to take extra care of my Spirit.  When I got home I used my Singing Bowl and did a long Meditation.  It makes such a difference when I stop and restore myself…if not my Intention during a Session is weak and purposeless.
