Background Music

The thing about background music is that it plays a supporting role. It enhances the environment without drawing attention to itself. Rather than becoming the experience, it complements the experience. No one stops what they're doing to hum along, fantasize about their concert debut, or inquire into the title or original performer.
In not being noticed background music finds its applause. Anonymity distinguishes it from the competition. Its success is measured by the fruit of those whom it serves.
I would imagine something similar is true for people as well. We would be mistaken to underestimate the significance of those whose presence and efforts enhance the effectiveness of others. Who are these people in your life?
