Sing


And shout

Most of us do not use our voices to their potential

In fact we do not use our voices very much at all

In our modern world we do not need to

Our lives do not demand us to sing or shout

Again it is not something we think about

We talk, we laugh, sometimes we cry and shout once in a while and that's about it

Some of us to be fair do sing in choirs or other organized activities

Most of us do not

So here's the reason why it might be a good idea to go and find a lonely place and just shout

We all bottle up emotions

We all control ourselves

Most of us do not shout much as it is not considered polite

Letting go of emotions however is important

Letting out our frustrations is useful

So think about singing next time you are in the shower or alone driving

There are many places where we can use our voices more forcefully

Put it into your consciousness to sing and shout more

Apart from anything else it feels different

It feels fine to stretch those unused muscles

Enjoy doing something you probably have not done since you were a child

a few nights ago we went to see Zap Mama....and she made us sing....it was great, all the women then all the men...then all together....and that until we were hoarse. It felt really good and it was beautiful to sing all together. AA
