Your Life is a Song
Dear Friend,
When breath moves through an instrument, it vibrates.
Whether it is an oboe or your body, the purpose of an instrument is to make a sound.
The freer the instrument, the fuller the sound. Hold on tightly, and the sound is dampened.
Here is a reminder to let yourself be played.
Life's breath can flow through you—freely, gracefully, beautifully.
It is your purpose to make a sound... but it is not your job.
If you make it your job to make a sound, you will only make noise.
Your voice will naturally emerge when you let go of what you think you should be, and simply be who you are.
Your job is to be. Free. You only need to let go, and let yourself be played.
—Nathan
