I was exchanging thoughts with a friend on how music moves us and
how we are affected when a beloved musician dies. Since she was thinking about
the moon and music, I realized how important the moon’s imagery is to us. So
many artists refer to the moon, since we use its light to illuminate our path
and the metaphor of the mood can reflect our emotions.

Music moves our soul; it assists us mere mortals in expressing thoughts
we can’t usually put into words-the sublime. So many people are sharing thoughts,
listening to music, and reflecting today. It’s time to move forward, to no
longer be afraid of one’s shadow, and to let your voice be heard. I’m no longer
living in the shadows. I am ready to open my heart to life.
My thoughts have made me want to reach out to others; especially my
favorite songwriter to let him know how much his spirit, his words and voice have
meant to me over the years.
Thank you to my fellow Minnesotan for making us appreciate life
and love though your music. Your death has left many of us stunned, but we
haven’t forgotten to embrace life a bit more tonight. There will be dance
parties to remember and celebrate you tonight.
