By the time Debbie Clark took Adam, her autistic three-year-old son, to a music therapist,
he could barely speak. At the music therapy clinic at California State University in
Northridge, therapists encouraged the autistic child to express himself by playing
instruments and beating out rhythms on drums. They put conversations to song in order to
get Adam talking.
“In three months, the change was phenomenal,” says Clark. “Before, Adam would never
look at a stranger in the eyes, let alone speak. Now, after his music therapy session, he waves
to the therapists and says, ‘Bye, Jim. Bye, Ron. See you next week.’ Believe me, that’s music
to my ears.”
Researchers around the world are discovering music can help healing in a variety of ways.
For example, burn victims are encouraged to sing while having their dressing changed
experience less pain. Cancer patients who listen to music and practice improvising on
instruments, for example, see their levels of stress hormones drop and their immune systems
get stronger.
Part of music’s power comes from its ability to relieve anxiety, which can suppress immune
defenses as well as intensify the experience of pain. Music, especially singing, takes a
person’s mind off the suffering and soothes tension. “By helping patients relax. Music eases
pain and may even speed recovery,” says Richard Fratianne, Professor of Surgery at Case
Western Reserve University.

The Bread Lesson

My dad has watermelon-size biceps, a neck like an inner tube, and enormous, muscular hands
that make him seem like he’s always wearing baseball mitts. He doesn’t seem like the kind
of guy who would bake great bread, but he is and he does. Every Saturday he puts on his
chef’s apron, rolls up his sleeves, breaks out a bag of flour, and produces two loaves of
homemade bread. When he’s done, the whole house smells delicious, and I can’t wait for a
hot slice smothered with yellow, melting butter.
The rest of the week, Dad is a car mechanic, which involves lots of heavy lifting, tightening,
unscrewing, shoving, shaking, yanking, and banging. People tend to think of their cars as
metallic members of the family, so there’s lots of pressure on Dad to make sure pumps pump,
steering steers, and brakes brake. The shop where Dad works is understaffed, so he’s under
a lot of stress. Sometimes I worry he’s going to overheat and blow a gasket or something,
like some old car. I think Dad began baking bread to help him relax. I see him in the kitchen,
working on a spongy hunk of dough—punching and pounding it into submission.
(cited from Nebraska Department of Education 2009)

The Bread Lesson (Cont.)

I’ve been feeling kind of stressed out myself since I found out I didn’t qualify for the swim
team. Now I’ll have to wait a whole year to try out again; that might as well be a million
years. Plus, I’m taking some tough classes this year, and my best friend moved away.
I think Dad knew I was feeling pressure. He sat next to me on the sofa last Saturday and
asked me how things were going. I said OK, even though I didn’t feel OK at all. He looked
at me for a moment, then he said it was time for me to help. He got up from the sofa and
headed to the kitchen.
I couldn’t imagine what help I could offer. Still, I followed right behind him. Once we were
standing by the counter, Dad gave me one of his old aprons. He slipped it on over my head
and tied it in the back with such obvious pride that you’d think I was being knighted, which
felt kind of silly but also kind of nice. I was being initiated as a bread-baker.
Next, Dad got out his enormous stainless-steel mixing bowl, handed me a large wooden
spoon, and told me to stir while he added the ingredients. He threw in a large handful of flour
from a sack. A haze of flour dust began to hover in the air like fog. He then sprinkled salt
into the bowl. Dad isn’t big on measuring. He instinctively knows exactly how much of each
ingredient to use, and the bread always turns out great. The entire operation was
accomplished as if we were part of a NASA space launch. Flour? Check. Yeast? Check.
Milk? Check. Sugar, shortening, and salt? Check, check, check.
When I had stirred the flour and milk mixture into a thick, gooey lump, Dad had me turn it
over onto the countertop, which had been dusted with flour. Then he showed me how to
knead the dough—repeatedly pushing away at the rubbery glob, stretching it out, pounding
it, and folding it in on itself. As I kneaded it, I felt the dough come to life beneath my hands.
It took ten minutes and a surprising amount of energy to corral the unruly blob into a neat,
round mass.
Next came the most difficult and surprising part – doing nothing. We put the dough back
into the metal bowl. Then we waited for more than an hour for the dough to slowly swell up
and double in size. Next, we deflated the risen dough by punching it down. We divided it in
two and waited for it to rise again. Afterward, we put the dough into pans and waited another
hour for the dough to rise and double one last time. Dad said the waiting is always the hardest
part because of the sharp, sweet smell coming from the yeast. “It’s hard to resist putting the
dough directly into the oven, but if you do, the loaves will be small, and the bread will be
tough. The most important lesson of all is learning to be patient,” Dad explained.
While we waited, we sat and talked. Silence is a blank space that begs to be filled. It’s like
the dough—it swells up and fills a room with emptiness unless you punch it down with
words. It felt good to be still and listen to each other. It felt good to open up and share our
thoughts. As the flour dust in the kitchen quietly settled, time seemed to slow down. The
dough was going to rise at its own pace. We could do nothing to make it rise faster. As I
accepted that, I stopped watching the clock and drumming my fingers on the tabletop. I
started enjoying the quiet time with Dad. My father taught me how to bake bread, but I think
I learned something more. I learned to appreciate the slowly ticking rhythm of time. I learned
to relax and let the bread rise.
