Music exist since earth existed.

Birds humming, animals creates different sounds when in playing moods or courting periods. Even air creates a beautiful sound as it swiftly blows a cool breeze on our atmosphere. The gentle tap of raindrops creates a beautiful melodies. Leaves as it is being blown by air, swaying in dances in tune of it.



Different kinds of instrument were invented to create music and songs as well. Our ancestors, as written in the bible, many gatherings uses these instrument in creating a happy mood of environment.
Cymbals, trumpets, drums, harps and so on, truly contributed in making astonishing kinds of sound. A danceable one, just to relax minds, a rhythmic thing or something which can be accompanied by a song.

People’s type of music to listen differ of course. I prefer those soft music ever since in my younger days.
WHAT BENEFITS PEOPLE DERIVES IN LISTENING TO MUSIC?
Babies or infants, in my observance and experience, love lullaby music. I had worked in children’s adoption center for a year. But reaching at one year old, a danceable music is best introduce to them. Why? It tickles mind and heart to activate the nerves within human body. Try playing to a year old babies, those who can stand on crib especially. Their eyes wide open as starting to hear that lively music. Not so loud of course, may damage their eardrums which are still fragile.
The start to move their buttocks, legs and feet with a so sweet smiles. Then along hands raising up as long as they can and sways.
Children, teens, ladies and gentlemen up to oldies men and women, everybody I think love music. What a great joy it brings to each of us.

How about playing it to our plants? Weird to hear? Maybe right , maybe not so true. Dorothy Retallack, author of a book about plants, had a good review. Plants exposed to rock music, were droopy, faded leaves and leaning away from music. While those exposed to calming music, were uniform in size, full green and leaning towards music.
People with brain damage effects are almost millions. Researchers have relied to music to stimulate areas of the brain as part of the treatment. Those people with neurological damage caused by stroke or Parkinson’s disease regain a symmetrical and a sense of balance when given a rhythm to dance or walk.

HOW IS WORLD WITHOUT MUSIC DO YOU THINK?

A so boring environment am sure, sleepy mood everywhere. Though am often alone left in our house, playing music eases those tensions and anxieties.
But when am writing my blogs, poem passages or quotes, I want a serenity. No music for a while. My mood is set fine best without hearing music be it soft or romantic one.

Music will be around thru out our lives.

CONSTRUCTION WORKERS: I SALUTE

My attention was caught as I sit by our windows, praying of what’s interesting topic I should write. We’re almost one year now here on our new house it’s a small subdivision only. Yes, peaceful but a lonely place for me. Houses here were still few; so many lots are still vacant. Every month, one or two houses are constructed, just like this month. One is near along our side, the other across our street. Constructions are booming fast, happy to see how it is blooming every day in the hands of those men. They are the construction workers as they are called, compose of carpenters, engineers, electricians, mason and so on.

They have lean bodies, not so quite handsome, but still have that manly image. Carries his personality well, dress up self just simple but have that guts. No matter how they try to impress ladies or women out there, it’s not hard to determine their true colors. That’s on my side, my own kind of discernment. There are men
