“Indeed, we may say that song is the outward expression of the creative choice of resonance or toning. When we sing, we step into a resonance, or we “tune in” to an energetic message or quality and bring it forward through our unique body and voice.”

“The Jackson 5 shook off the last song and readied for another sortie. The smallest Jackson movement, every tremble, elicited another wave of squeals from the Garden. "I'd like to talk to y'all tonight," Michael said, "about the blues." Carney chuckled--the kid was ten. "The blues?" Marlon or maybe Jermaine asked. "Yeah, the blues. Don't nobody have the blues like me. I may be young, but I know what it's all about." The boys bit into "Who's Lovin' You" and the building rattled. The girls screamed. There were rumors about guys the mob had rubbed out and buried in the concrete foundation below. The noise would've woken them up. Carney shouldn't have laughed.

“Some truths hit slow. Some goodbyes hurt longer. Some wounds never fully heal. Some conversations stay unfinished. Some thoughts stay thoughts. Some relationships hurt more than they heal… and we wait for closure that never comes. But this is life in its purest form, messy, unpredictable, and brutally honest. And this is how life teaches us that we don’t get to control how people love us, how they leave, or how they change. All we can control is how we heal after the hurt and how we rise after the fall.”
