WE SHAPE THE MUSIC, AND
THE MUSIC SHAPES US
Music is movement.
Music is a movement of relationship.
Music is a movement of relationship that we
sense—not just hear, but sense.
Music is a movement of relationship that we
sense somatically by means of the instrument
of our whole mind-body.
What shapes sensing is formative metaphor.
But which metaphor shall shape our experience?
Domination?
Force?
Conflict?
Aggression?
Or shall it be the imagery of friendship?
Contemplation?
Dialogue?
The fierce energy of outrage?
Or the empathy of shared grief?
The wonder of distant stars?
It is up to us.
We shape the music,
and the music shapes us.
