I wouldn't describe myself as musically talented but I do play a musical instrument. I have no idea why. When asked why I play music, words generally escape me and I can't describe the attachment I have to an art that uses wave forms (and silence) as a medium to communicate ideas and emotions. I just play music.
I play music when I am sad, when I am happy, when I am indifferent and I need to feel. I play music when someone asks me too and when no one is around. I play to kill time and I play to savour every moment. I play to inspire people and I play to remind myself how far I still have to go. I play to forget and I play to remember, to relive moments - both good and bad, to remind myself of my mistakes and the triumphs the Lord has given me. Sometimes I play for fun as well.
