Why turn the music up?  The simple reason is that music is my Zen.  Silence can be lovely, but music inspires yours truly.  Everyone I have met, I see that they search for happiness outside, but nobody appreciates their true self inside.  I, for one, have been guilty of that.  This past year has shown me some of the potential I can achieve.  I don't have all the answers, but I am on a journey to find them.  In the meantime, I will continue to turn the music up.
