Mumford and Sons

Today I watched a 20/20 episode from October which focused on young dreamers on the Pine Ridge Reservation in South Dakota. While hearing the experiences of these children and seeing all the circumstances that surround their lives, I had a moment. A moment that I can best describe as pure, one that made me feel a connection to everyone and everything by me just being aware of the simple truths that make me human. It's a reminder that hope and perseverance can prosper even in the harshest of environment. How does this all tie into Mumford and Sons? I get the same sense of hope and humanity from Mumford and Sons that I felt today watching the children of the Pine Ridge Reservation tell their story. For me, the music of Mumford and Sons is like a personal testament to the human life experience. It captures the high emotional range of life with such a beautiful sound that listening to their album becomes more than just listening to music. Hope, anger, love, pain, joy and so many other emotions are perfectly captured in the lyrics and the sound. This band becomes more well known each day for a reason. They've not just created an album, but one of the most compelling soundtracks for life. Here's to my two inspirations of the day, the children of the Pine Ridge Reservation and Mumford and Sons. Hope you all have a wonderful day and take time to find your moment.
