Where Music Becomes Connection
In this episode, I explore how music becomes more than sound — how it becomes connection, memory, and transformation. Inspired by two NaPoWriMo prompts (Day 24 and Day 25), I share a deeply personal reflection and two original poems shaped by a powerful concert experience with accordionist Martynas Levickis.
The first piece, Sound Woven Through Steel, recounts how live music in an industrial steel hall became an immersive, emotional experience — one where I found myself floating, not alone, but in silent communion with a stranger.
The second, Floating Together, is a lyrical response to the prompt exploring how music moves us in shared space.
Also included is Hallelujahs We Carry, a collective, community-driven poem inspired by the music of Leonard Cohen and Gloria Horton-Young, exploring the deep resonance of protest, memory, and harmony.
