My favorite inanimate object? Oh there are so many. Most of them probably have to do with music but should I really consider those musical instruments inanimate objects? Being a musician for many years now the violin, viola, piano and guitar are my best friends. These instruments are my tools of finding who I am. Through these “inanimate objects” I can discover me. Of course these instruments are gently pushed into the list of “Inanimate Objects” but many a time do they cross the border. A violin comes alive when the violinist pulls the bow across it’s strings with all the emotions that have been with held into the soul. The viola sings when the violist gives that melody the tear-jerking harmony it deserves. The piano screams it’s pain when the pianist gently lays his fingers upon it’s keys. The guitar tells a story like none other when the beautiful calloused fingers of the player plucks the strings of the guitar’s heart. But these gorgeous instruments of the soul are only inanimate when we refuse to play them.

Music is life. It is love. It is and always will be pounded into every beat of our hearts. It is and always will be a part of our lives. We can not run from it. We can not hide from it. We are drawn to it like moths drawn to light. It calls the weak crying child inside all of us. It also calls the strong happy kid inside us all. All we must do is accept that man-kind will never be on top. Whether we like to believe it or not music controls us. We may write it. We may sing it or play it but it will always be above us. We just have to let it take us over. <3
