Acrostic Musings

Complex colors of character and culture caress CREATIVE consciousness, continually evoking casual conversation, creating cadence or cacophony; concord or contradiction; confirmation or confusion. Cream to copper, mocha to black - can communities coexist?

*

Often, optimists observe another with opposite outlooks with ongoing obsession to offer the ODDBALL outcast other options – ostentatious or opportune?

*

Logical living, lasting LOVES, life-long learning, liberal amounts of leisure, and light-hearted laughs, lead to larger levels of loyalty and lingering legacy.

*

Orchestral overtures open ORIGINAL occasions with orderly organization- only outline, not overwhelming or overindulging. If only we omitted overflowing, overbearing opinions.

*

Routine, rich, and REFLECTIVE ruminations relax and reinvigorate those receptive of rebirth and renewal. The reluctant, reckless, and rash refuse to rally.

**

Merging MUSICAL melody with meaningful metaphorical and metaphysical matters makes one mindful of one’s measure of mastery of manifesting memories, both merry and melancholy.

*

Each evergreen, effectively established in earth's soil, exemplifies the elaborate EXPERIENCES we endure - ever tangled, ever electing to engage the environment, ever ensuing to establish eminence. Evergreen, ever blue, Earth encircles on effortlessly, enduring the errors of peoples' "enlightened edification."

Now, go back and read only the words in BOLD for a phrase that defines me as a music educator.
