the music in your heart

How does one listen to their own music, the one inside your heart that tell you weather you are happy or sad? The music of the heart, a hunch, a gut feeling,all the same, may be. I have tried to learn to hear the music inside my heart, and follow it to wherever it might take me, sometimes to a lovely hike, sometimes to a cultural gathering, sometimes to the solitude of the ocean. I have learned to listen. I no longer hear the noise outside but listen to what is pure inside, love. A love that has no need for praise, for retribution, for jealousy, a love that like music, free flowing, slow going, and lovely to the ear. I have learned that sometimes you got love yourself, know yourself and then you can really love the world outside.
