Why "Mind Music"?

I have spent my entire life wondering why my brothers (all three of them) and my father have this uncanny way with music. I mean, it doesn't matter what they pick up - they instantly play whatever instrument in their hands. My father paid way more attention to his music than his family, which ultimately ended a 23 year marriage. Even though they have the same talent and love for music, they love their families more. I guess, in a way, mind music is my only gift falling under the category of music. I literally think instead of play. I suppose I could have picked up an instrument, and even took piano lessons in the 5th grade. The problem was, I didn't just sit down and have a divine gift from above. I am different than my brothers in that way. Being the only girl, I also needed a place to be quiet and not bothered. My mind seemed like as good a place as any to retreat from the pushing, shoving, yelling, hitting, poking, cursing, spitting, scratching, and overall boyness of our home. As it turns out, I am all grown up and still live in a house full of boys. My husband, Jeff, our son, Comanche, and our foreign exchange student from Korea, Alex, and finally our yellow lab, Bo. The music in my head keeps me sane. I have come to enjoy my mind music and felt the need to get some of it written down somewhere to make my mark on the world. Enjoy, and God bless.
