Movies and Music

I've been watching my movies alphbetically. Yes that makes me a nerd, but it also gives me an insight into my own life and my taste in everything. Part of it also gives me courage to make me a better person and to take chances with things that I wouldn't usually do. It's like the movies and the music in the movies get into my soul and make me feel alive. I'm watching August Rush right now, and this movie is just amazingly touching. The music in it fills me and touches different parts of me everytime. Music has always done this to me, ever since I was a little girl. I get goosebumps, and tears come to my eyes. It's like the music lights me up and makes me become who I truly am meant to be. This is why I always feel amazing during Mass, especially the gloria. All that wonderous sound, making a glorious noise in praise of Him. Every time you sing, you praise Him or It or Her or whatever you believe in. This is why I need to go to L's concert on Friday. I need to hear his praise, his celebration, his song. It is one of the things that can bring people closest together. You can hear a song and it is more intimate than any one physical act can make you. Music touches your soul and that is more than your body. I want him to touch my soul. I need to hear him.
