My friend Karen says that life is like a sound board. When music is mixed, the sound technician needs to adjust the levels to make the music sound its best. If one person or instrument needs to be really loud, everything else can't be loud too because the board can't handle it and, more importantly, the music won't sound its best. The same is true in life. If one thing is dominating during a particular season, that's okay, as long as adjustments are made to other areas.

But if you make those adjustments, your life song will bring the most beauty and pleasure possible in your life. — Jessica N. Turner

When we're in touch with our heart and we're living our life from our heart, then we do feel like we found our home. — Roger Hodgson

Finding patterns and structure in information is how our brains extract meaning from the world, and putting words to music and rhyme are a way of adding extra levels of pattern and structure to language.
