This meditation sums it up for me
As I mentioned in a previous thread how music is a form of meditation for me, I get this today
Elder's Meditation of the Day - April 20
"You must be prepared and know the
reason why you dance."
--Thomas Yellowtail, CROW
Inside every human being is a need to dance.
We dance to music. Have you even wondered
why people are moved when they hear an
Indian Drum? The drum is the heartbeat of
the Mother Earth. Every Indian dance is for a
purpose and a reason. Every Song is for a
reason. The beat of the drum makes our
bodies, minds and spirits join together in
harmony. It allows us to connect to
Mother Earth and to each other. The dance
aligns our minds to think spiritual thoughts.
Dancing to the drum is healthy.
Great Spirit,
today, I dance
to honor you.

I get those too! I love them. There was a good one on the 13th or 14th about friendship. I took the writing to a meeting and that was the topic for the day. Funny I didn't bring it up but at the end of the meeting I shared it. There is good strong wisdom from our Elders.
Yes music to me also speaks to the soul and connects me to God. I have another name I go by. Inadvdekanogi which loosely translated means SingingSnake or Snake with a bell. Please understand snakes are not a bad thing. They represent transition and I think all of us here can relate to transition.
