Music Notes

by Amethyst Angel 💐

Rated: 13+ · Book · Music · #2313403

A blog about music from my unique perspective (also a spot for some poetry I’ve written)

A blog, generally about music, usually for projects hosted by Jeff

. I may also write about the 48-Hour Media Prompt Challenge if I don't feel like writing a story or poem inspired by the given song. Other bits of poetry or different topics of discussion might end up here as well.

This is the poem which earned my blog its green ribbon, courtesy Brian K Compton

In response to "A Stone Only Rolls Downhill..."

What an excellent and revealing post. My immediate reaction to this is - I know the answer!

Like a child in elementary school waving my hand with glee. For me, the answer is simple: purpose. All that you say is true and accurate until you realize that the universe has placed you here, in this time, at this exact moment, for a purpose. When you realize that there is a 1 in 400 billion chance that you would even exist as a HUMAN right now, you realize that can ONLY be deliberate, not random chance. You have NO idea fully what your purpose is, you never will - that's the mystery of the universe's power and beauty. You simply must know, deep inside yourself, that there is a purpose. And your whole job is to MAKE THE MOST OF THE EXPERIENCE. That's it. Live every single moment deeply and intentionally.

It has taken me much of my life to come to understand this. It was a long series of events that led to the epiphany that came into my life around 2011 and gave me an undeniable spiritual experience that forever changed my life. I felt that essence, touched that universal energy that so many call "God" for lack of a better word. It filled me until I was crying hysterically in an instant of rapture so glorious and overwhelming my next thought was "Oh please stop, I have to drive." I was in my car on my way to work and so overcome with tears I couldn't see and was at risk of crashing.

I pulled over for a few minutes to collect myself but it was a moment that filled me with absolute certainty that I am here for a purpose. And the love that it filled me with has stayed with me ever since. It was an undeniable truth that sustained me, changed me forever, and has carried me ever since. I had simply opened myself up to the truth and it flooded in. It's been part of my life ever since. And I began trying to find my purpose. I can now say that I have found a lot of it and that evolution continues. We are here to find our purpose, to evolve, to experience life in all its beautiful, messy glory, and then that energy leaves, goes back to the source, and is repurposed again in a beautiful never-ending glorious cycle. Energy is neither created nor destroyed, only changed. If you can understand that, you can understand how the universe works. Decay is only one part - death is only one part. There is also always rebirth. Look at the world around you: see the seasons - spring to summer to fall to winter. It's a never ending, perpetual cycle of life, death, rebirth without end. One season after another in perfect synergy with everything else.

One day, this planet's energy will end. As the energy in all things eventually does. In billions of years. And that energy will then become something else. Never destroyed, only changed. Read Einstein's work and it becomes much clearer. "The principle of conservation of energy applies to closed systems, where there is no exchange of energy or matter with the outside world. The universe itself is considered a closed system, so the total amount of energy in existence has always been the same." ALWAYS THE SAME. That means death is an artificial human construct built from our limited understanding and vision of the world around us. That self-centered "world revolves around us" vision restricts us from understanding it fully.

I've only known the Marvin Gaye version. I have to say that CCR did it justice. The drums and that bass. So cool.

Excellent choice!

In response to "I Heard It Through the Grapevine (CCR)"

Great song choice! There is also a version with Gladys Knight and the Pips that may or may not have been the first one. It was the first one that I heard.
