This is Angelika, my oldest grand-daughter, you may have seen her here a few times. She is 9 years old. 

I have been blessed by the fact the she loves music, as much as I do. She’s been keeping me up to date with some of the new songs that are coming out. She knows the songs but doesn’t know the performer most of the time. I’ve trying to teach her it’s important to also know who is singing. Very frequently, we use the “Shazam” app to identify the singer/band. 

I created this series: Angelika’s Songs  to post here the new songs that she teaches me about. 

Angelika went on a trip up north this morning. I spoke with her last night and asked her if she had a new song for me. She said she did. She’s really keeping me on my toes…

And you can only take one.

“You never forget a language or a musical skill either. Its always there in your head. And also, when I say a ‘master on musical instruments’, I mean one of the best in the world. Also the languages are only communication languages, not programming skills.”

Something to think about, right? 

Spoken language, sometimes called oral language, is language produced in its spontaneous form, as opposed to written language. Many languages have no written form, and so are only spoken.

In spoken language, much of the meaning is determined by the context. Spoken language tends to convey subjective information, including the relationship between the speaker and the audience, whereas written language tends to convey objective information.

A musical instrument is a device created or adapted to make musical sounds. In principle, any object that produces sound can be a musical…

Come out from there my dearest one
There is no place to hide
For what you seek to escape
Is nothing but you

Fall in love with yourself
Do it head over heels!
There’s a Beauty deep within
Blinding evil eyes that stare

Lull your mind to sleep
Hush your desires still
Let your courage come alive
Born from the light of faith inside

Divorce your false self
Let your soul rein free
It will fall over laughing
Simply looking at the face of fear

You have everything you need
There’s no need to be afraid
Come out from your hiding place
Experience the miracle that is You

Fairies gladden, sharing beauty,
Fences cannot hold them back.
They dance in and out of spindles
Spreading magic along their track.

Happy Monday! I’ll soon be traveling and changing time zones, but I will still be in search of magic. May you find some in your life, too! My heart shines with joy at beginning a summer adventure. I hope you go adventuring, too! And I have discovered the joy of compression bags and packing cubes. LOL These are quite magical things not unlike Hermione’s beaded bag in Book 7 of Harry Potter. How I long for Hermione’s beaded bag… What are you longing for?
