Welcome, welcome.

You have found your self here: on Ellie's semi-kept-up blog.

Lots of tidbits and nothingness reside here. Don't feel obligated to read anything.

If you're interested, here's a random blog I wrote (+photos) while traveling in New Zealand in 2012: newsieland.wordpress.com

With love,

The language of music

You randomly look at someone, pause, and somehow know exactly what they are feeling like at that moment based on their facial expression and body language.

The other day I saw someone playing the piano, they were completely zoned out--somewhere else--letting the keys slip beneath their fingers. I watched their face expression, and I knew exactly what they were feeling right in that moment. Didn't need to ask.

It's happened in choir too. When everyone hits a chord that is so incredibly clear and flawless that you and your neighbor turn toward each other in wonder. No words are needed--you both know.

Music is a language, and a dang good one at that.
