Jukebox

 Music is one of the battlegrounds between good and evil.  And some people's definitions vary.


One sign is the vibes, the tones of music.  Lyrics may contribute.  


Now, some tunes are earthy, even kinda raunchy, but they point out parts of our lives.  


Some slide into darkness.  Not the light/dark twosided coin, but evil.  


Some inspire and fill us with light.  Others are just fun.


I loved jukeboxes as a kid.  Still do.  I liked those mini ones at tables in diners.  Calling up and playing from the table was a hoot.


Juke has variable meanings, depending on origin.  Root spelling differs as the present word is spelled the same.  


Examples are a zigzag football fakeout and a sexual connotation.  It's musical too.


Think of juke as a mix and the jukebox its meeting place.


And there is the jukebox of the mind.


Tunes play through our heads.  A word or action may inspire/remember music.  


There is, of course, a spiritual level.  


I think of bells, organs and hymns, but also all kinds of music.


Music can keep the darkness at bay.  


It could be Handel or Elvis .


Let it go and flow.
