I would like to sing you a song today. I will ask you to think of a song you would like Me to sing. Perhaps you will hum it for Me? Sing the lyrics too. What song do you think I would sing for you today? Yes, please sing it for Me.
If you are on the bus and you are shy, just sing a song mentally then. But wouldn’t it be a wonderful world if you could just burst into song wherever you are! Why cannot life on Earth be like a great musical!
You could sing, and everyone else on the bus could dance. The bus driver could stop the bus, and a new chorus could come on and another one leave. Maybe you would get off the bus. Just think of the joy you would have caused because you did something rare and wonderful. You sang a song aloud on the bus. Can the world stay the same?
Birds sing when and how they will. Birds don’t think: “Oh, I might disturb someone.” When a bird has an impulse to sing, he sings. Is not the world better for it?
What if you danced to work? What if you jumped on fences and pirouetted and did somersaults and swung on tree-branches? What if you were not proper?
What if you walked barefoot? What if you were as free as a bird? What if you turned your world topsy-turvy? What if you dared?
What if you rowed a boat to work or peddled a scooter?
What if you walked backward to work? What if you did something different? What if you did something you never had done before? What if you sent yourself an email extolling your wonderfulness? You might say:
“Dear Wonderful Me, how nice it is to be you! I love you. You are adorable and fun. You are a delight to my heart day by day. You are my inspiration. You stick with me through thick and thin. You laugh a lot and amuse me. And when you cry, soon enough you wipe your tears. What the heck, you say. Why should I cry when there is unknown adventure before me? I can leave tears behind and dance ahead. I can climb every mountain and slide down every slide.
“I can be and do all I want to, and I do want wonders to perform. I want to set the world on end. I want to scramble life and turn it on end. I want to make something wonderful happen, even if it is only a little something wonderful. If I do ten little something wonderfuls, wouldn’t that be wonderful?
“What if I am really a rare and wonderful person. What if, as God says, I am the Light of the Earth. Then I’d better get going and be what I am for all to see. What if, oh, what if, I weren’t afraid to be me?
“I would burst into song. I would be a singer. I would sing for all I am worth. I would sing an ode to joy. I would be an ode to joy. I would start up the music, and I would dance, and you, whoever you are, would dance with me. God would be the choreographer. He would teach us the dance steps. I feel them in my blood. I am getting the rhythm of life. I have got the beat.
“If I hear beautiful music in my head, others will hear it too. Music will be irresistible. Every store will become a music store. Every billboard will be a singing billboard.
“Why not have life on Earth be a happy musical?"
