The most profound, life changing thoughts I've encountered about music are found here.
Excerpt from Brian Eno's piece for NPR's This I Believe:
'I believe that singing is the key to long life, a good figure, a stable temperament, increased intelligence, new friends, super self-confidence, heightened sexual attractiveness and a better sense of humor. A recent long-term study conducted in Scandinavia sought to discover which activities related to a healthy and happy later life. Three stood out: camping, dancing and singing.'

Great photo of the boys- I can almost hear them laughing as they are playing and discovering nature's treasures.

Thanks for the link. Those words about music are profound - and true.
I envy your outdoor time! It's turned out so hot and humid here this week that you can barely breath when you go outdoors. Yeck.

thank you for that link.
At yoga we often chant together- it is so much of what that article talked about- so true.
My mom always says her favorite part about church is the singing,and although I don't attend church very often it is the music and the coming together with our voices and sounds that really bring the Universe into me.

aw, love these. Wish we were going to seattle this summer. would be fun to meet up.
Brian Eno said that?!
Camping, dancing and singing! What else is there?
Maybe sex...and motherhood.
And probably a couple other things, too. :)
I thought I had left a comment and I see nothing.
These photos have to be some of my favorite, You captured that "bust a move" in your photos. I love the way your boys need no prompting.
Wonderful to believe, to sing, to dance and to love life and nature.
