Have Your Song Ever Been Interrupted?

An interrupted song does not necessary means interrupted melody, but it could mean the cessation (temporary or permanent) of any talent or gift or any daily activity of your lifestyle. I like old movies, so very early this morning I decided to watch one called Interrupted Melody, which tells the true story of Australian opera singer Marjorie Lawrence’s struggle with polio.

Early in the 1940’s it was discovered that she had polio after she was unable to stand during one of her performances. She made several attempts to return to the stage but for many reasons (including fear), she was not able to perform. She was approached by a friend who asked her to sing for troops during World War II. She said she couldn’t do it because she was in a wheelchair. He told her that it was nothing wrong with her voice. She finally agreed and to her amazement the first group of soldiers were in the hospital—in wheel chairs. After that she continued her career from a wheelchair.

I am reminded of something that I read from Dr. Ellie Drake’s Book—It’s Easier Done Than Said: To own one’s voice is to own one’s true power. The origin of this power is self-esteem. The origin of self-esteem is trust in the power that created us. To own my voice, to unlease the sound of my spirit, to communicate the energy of my deeper self, means that I am always singing my song, the unique song of my being-ness. When that quality emerges, others who listen will be inspired to sing theirs.

Are you singing your true song?
