The power of music

These three weeks were so suppressing that seemed to have squished the breath right out of me, but today, through music, I smiled for the first time. It's a very simple song sung by a japanese little girl called Ayumi and it was the most beautiful thing ever. I felt my heart rise for the first time in weeks after listening to her beautiful singing. The girl is about six or seven years old? Her voice was pure and without correction or elaboration, the best and purest kind of music. Even though the only words I can understand from the song was " saiyonana" which means goodbye in japanese, I felt deeply connected to this little girl and the song she sang.
