I was surfing channels and finally settled in for a T.V reality show which churns out the best
singing talents of the nation.
The contestant which walked over to the stage was Autistic. He
was accompanied by his Mom who walked alongside with hopes in her heart and
dreams in her eyes for her dear son.
He starts singing and it all sounded so mesmerizing and
magical and by the time he had finished singing, all the esteemed judges
applauded him with a standing ovation.
This guy had such a beautiful God given gift. A voice ….a
voice which could touch a 1000 hearts .
If you would have heard his voice over the radio , you would
never even in your wildest dreams have guessed that this man was autistic.
I believe that Music has a lot of healing power, a power
which is unsurpassed by even the most researched and developed medicines in the
market. It awakens the deepest emotions from the farthest abyss of your soul.
Researchers and therapists say that music works by bypassing
the brain’s damaged language centers and creating new pathways to the part of
the brain that process music. It is the only experience that can activate every
part of the brain.
This man has been learning music at a Music school and I
guess by now Music had become his way of expression ,his way of life.
GB Shaw once said”Music infuses strength into my limbs and
ideas into my brain, Life seems to go on without effort when I am filled with
music.”
The above lines
definitely held true for the young man who walked away
nonchalantly ,smiling to
himself,unaware of how his voice had just enraptured the
audience in a way that only God’s own one could .
