I just returned from the first ever 5 day Celtic Thunder Cruise (to the Caribbean). It was fabulous to say the least. Besides, what's not to like? Five days on board with six of the most handsome lads to ever grace the Irish heritage. Now that's true romance. And even more interesting was seeing the ages of the passengers--from three to ninety-three. All of us were there to see the lads perform--singly or as a group--and lest you think, the ship held only cooing females, think again. Many men were sailing--alone, with their wives, or significant others. And in talking with them, they solidified what we all knew. Music is the language of love and romance--whether you're male or female.
Sitting up in the balcony, watching the hand holding going on, it was not hard to see how much music is ingrained in our souls, and in the connections we make with each other while in the human world. Combining words and music is nothing short of miraculous to a songwriter bent on sharing a message, and it's the same with a paranormal romance writer. Words, and the rhythm of them, spark the imagination and, because it does, a writer is able to share a message to the reader--one that, hopefully, connects to their soul.
What is the message for our souls? I think it's, that no matter where we find ourselves in our daily life, whether listening to an awe-inspiring piece of music, or reading an entertaining romance novel, love is our constant companion. There is a haunting beauty in connecting words to our lives. Our hearts are opened and we take on more love, and then even more love. Miraculously, we forgive those who have treated us badly, and begin to understand the phrase "I cried because I had no shoes, then I met a man who had no feet". Does that phrase resonate with your soul? I hope so, 'cause I know it resonates with mine.
