How to let go
Advice from An Outdoor Concert
Stop asking:
“Why am I here when I
can’t even see the stage.” Perhaps you can
watch the moon rise above the trees or
talk to your companions
who waved come sit with me.
Relax!
The fiddle player knows the tune,
he’s played it one thousand times.
The moon can find her way across the sky,
the path is well trod.
Drink all this in
listen to the music
look to moment.
Will there ever be an other
night like tonight?

The music travels no matter where you are located — and the energy is collected around you.

full moon, outdoor concert, friends and a soft spot to sit on the ground. Sounds very wondrous to me. Who cares that you can’t even see the stage, music travels, moonlight bathes. all is well.

I have actually thought about putting in a line after “relax” about sinking into the grass or in my case the bright red lawn chair. But this way one is left to their imaging. All is certainly well!

Usually it’s who you go with and the conversation…a drink/snack…that makes the music even better!

You’ve got that right! Oh, and there is also watching the kids running free chasing their friends in the dark which brings back magical childhood memories!

As full as our little park was I hope the musicians knew they were appreciated. My husband the super fan of Emmylou Harris has his weekend planned out for Hardly Strictly Bluegrass coming in 2 weeks. We’ll put an air mattress on the floor when ever you can get out here for it. 🙂
