Music and Meditation

I TURN MY HEADPHONES UP AND LOSE MYSELF IN THE BASS. NO STRESS, NO PROBLEMS, JUST ME AND MY COMPANY OF CHOICE, COLTRANE, MILES, MAYBE A LITTLE JIGGA MAN. DROWN OUT THE SOUNDS OF LIFE IN THE CITY, AS I SING ALONG TO THE STORIES OF MY PEOPLE A TRIBE CALLED QUEST, RUN DMC, MARY J BLIGE, PAC AND B.I.G. IN AN EFFORT TO MAXIMIZE MY SPIRITUALITY I MIGHT POP IN A LITTLE ERYKAH OR GO CHILL WITH THE GENIUS LAUREN. IN MY HEADPHONES I FIND CONCENTRATION, COGITATION, INTROSPECTION, PONDERING, QUIET TIME, REFLECTION, RUMINATION, SELF EXAMINATION, AS I EXCERCEISE MY MIND, TAKE IT TO A HIGHER LEVEL OF CEREBRATION, CONSIDERATION, CONTEMPLATION AND DELIBERATION. ONCE AGAIN, I TURN MY HEADPHONES UP.

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Be blessed.
