Music that moves
by Anton Zuiker Wednesday, January 31, 2018

Last week, I attended a Duke Health resiliency ambassadors workshop, with excellent presentations, activities, and tools to help managers infuse wellness into our teams.

Bryan Sexton leads the workshop, and opened the second morning with a presentation about awe -- he showed stunning, inspiring photos from around the world. These were great examples of visual awe.

That got me thinking about the awe I feel from music, and smell, and even the touch of a breeze or sun's ray on my skin.

Today the Health Arts Network Duke had a jazz duo playing in the hospital concourse. As I walked by, they were singing Louis Armstrong's What a Wonderful World.


That reminded me, yet again, of my brush with the angel Israel Kamakawiwo'ole.

When I got back to my desk, I found (via Kottke) this awesome video of a choir singing Toto's Africa.



It was a day of uplifting sounds. I feel good.
