The Music of a Child

This afternoon I had a powerful musical experience. What is it about the profound innocence of a child that moves us to tears? A friend sent me this youtube video of little 6 y.o. Scottish girl, trying out for the "Britian's Got Talent" show. Her voice is pure as an angel when she sings "Somewhere Over the Rainbow." As you listen to this, notice within yourself what feelings and memories and thoughts sweep over you. And enjoy!

This was simply wonderful!
I cried, and I felt if Simon would have said anything but what he said, I wanted to climb through the internet and shake him up.

Marvelous
