📫 Chords & Sex – Weekend Words #066

Powerful reminders for a smarter weekend

December 27, 2025

Sponsored by

Happy Saturday. Your weekend words are: chords and sex.

“Music is one thing, but it wouldn't exist without its parts. You couldn't play a chord without different notes. Change a note, change the chord. Life is no different, and neither are you.

You are expressing yourself in Life by choosing different notes all the time. Learn to be conscious of your note choices and Life will respond with the proper chord or, in other words, Life will respond accordingly.”

— Victor L. Wooten, The Music Lesson

More from the author in Tuesday’s book spotlight: The Music Lesson

“Joy is not a substitute for sex; sex is very often a substitute for Joy. I sometimes wonder whether all pleasures are not substitutes for Joy.”

— C.S. Lewis, Surprised by Joy

More from his book in our featured word: Sehnsucht
