Maybe it is because music is about as physical as it gets: your essential rhythm is your heartbeat; your essential sound, the breath. We're walking temples of noise, and when you add the tender hearts to this mix, it somehow lets us meet in places we couldn't get to any other way.
Anne Lamott suggests that music is deeply connected to our physical existence, as it resonates with our heartbeat and breath. This connection makes us "walking temples of noise," highlighting how our bodies inherently produce rhythm and sound. Music, therefore, becomes a medium that allows us to express our innermost feelings and experiences.
Furthermore, she emphasizes the power of music to create connections between individuals. By combining our physicality with emotional depth, music enables us to reach shared spaces and feelings that might otherwise remain inaccessible. Through music, we can bridge gaps and engage with one another on a profound level.
