A Thought on Tears
          
          On some level, I tend to connect love with sadness and pain. When you really love someone, sadness and pain has to come with. People I love are human, broken, and hurting, and that brings me sadness. Sadness also comes from separation from people I love. 
          Today I was thinking about tears, and how some kinds of sadness are so connected to love. At its heart, I think sadness is maybe a realization of our brokenness, a desperate wish for things to be different, and a feeling that reality *shouldn't* be like this. 
          
          Thoughts??

          What are some of your favorite pieces? Composers? Etc? 
          
          When I listen to music like the pieces I've listed, I think I might burst inside from all the feelings I get. I enjoy math, I enjoy reading, I enjoy swimming... but music surpasses words. I don't simply 'enjoy' music. When I hear music, something happens inside me that feels more wonderful than flying. 
          I think music is one of God's greatest gifts to us.
