what is the point ?

Why do we create music in the first place? Are we a life, a moment in time when we are the medium through which we share feelings? Why is music so powerful anyhow? Why can't I just listen to it and ho-hum go along my merry way and not be affected? Why don't I play the radio in the house? I know why. It is because lots of music distracts me. It overcomes me and makes me listen. What do I hear? What do I feel? Why do I hear what I hear and feel what I feel? Is this the answer to why I have always been so passionate about music and the piano? I thought I was in control here. What is going on? I practice my Chopin and I think [ if someone were listening] that I'd have to say 'pardon me while I go crazy playing this piece'.Yes, and there lies a challenge. You try doing anything you love to do and put a 'cap' on your adrenaline. Yes, I am in control but it is not as easy as it may look.
