While researching the extraordinary world of music, I came across the story of a man who saved a baby otter. Not by playing music, but by living as music. What do I mean?
Watch how this man attunes himself to the otter in every beat of her recovery and growth (8 min.— longer than usual, but so joyful, sweet, and fun).
How does this man succeed in tuning into a fellow creature?
- He listens closely.
- He harmonizes with her, making adjustments to tend her with utmost care.
- He serves her at the rhythm of her development.
- And, just like musicians, they play together!
And he did this for two years before she was ready to return to the wild. That’s patience.
What musical parallels did you notice while engaging in this beautiful story?
Whatever you discovered may reveal your gifts in relationships with others and with life.
It’s good to bring forth our gifts, so they sing.
That is living as music.

It is a beautiful story, thank you Emma. My first thoughts were all the qualities he uses to tune into the little otter, are the qualities we also use to tune into our inner guidance, and learn to live in harmony with ourself as we follow our individual, creative, path to spiritual freedom.
Yes, we use these skills and qualities, and sometimes I’m not sure we’re even aware of using them! Often they come naturally. Certainly to someone like you. Thank you for chiming in!💛
