Music is movement. Music is a movement of relationship.
We sense–not just hear, but sense–somatically by
means of the instrument of the whole body. What
shapes sensing is formative metaphor. But which
metaphor shall shape our experience? Domination?
Force? Conflict? Aggression? Or the poetry of love
making? Contemplation? Dialogue? The fierce energy
of outrage? The empathy of shared grief? Or the
wonder of distant stars? It is up to us. We shape the
music, and the music shapes us.
