This was very meaningful to me, Heidi. As a music lover myself, I have experienced the “ahhh” when the tension in music has resolved.

In this season of the sonata of my life, I'm just past the climax of the discord and some harmony is taking shape, but I’m longing for the resolution. I know it will come at the moment and in the circuitous sequence of chords that the composer chooses.

Your essay makes me want to lean into every unexpected, mystical phase of my life, even the tense parts when I don't understand how the composer is going to pull it all together again for a fulfilling, satisfying destination.

Beautiful comparison between life's journey and musical composition.
