Music begins with a note - personal, intimate, and illusive. As we seek to express that one note and join with others in the same effort, a symphony ensues. The symphony is a chaldron of our individual selves merging and flowing together not always in harmony, sometimes in conflict. At times, such as here and now, so harmonious as to make it clear to each participant that something ineffably divine is occuring.
I wonder what instrument and theme each of us considers we are playing. It may not be illustrative but certainly should be amusing.
I fancy myself a french horn playing those dulcet themes that are heard only occasionally yet reverbrate long after they are sounded. Sometimes my theme seems to have no bearing on the direction of the symphony. But always it drops deeply into the depth of the music and moves the work by a volition unseen and unheeded.
To be aware of the symphony and to listen to it is to achieve that spontaneity I spoke about many posts ago. Jesus knew the music, knew His part in it and played with a clarity and determination that moved the song of songs to wondrous melody.
Can we be conscious of the instrument we play and understand the music with such clarity that we are at one with the music of the spheres, the song of God?
The post is almost prose.. No it is prose.. The last line above.. ending on a high note.. Hmmm.. the instruments we play.. Quite deep.. Thanks.. Quite deep indeed..
The instruments we play and the music we make, an orchestration of Awe in a conversation of the spirit even allowing for the dissonance of a monologue to two.. Now thats what I call Free republic JAZZ..
Very deep.. Not all threads make it all the way to jazz but shucks practice makes perfect.. Good work Amos.. Jazz is based in Blues.. Free Republic Jazz is based in blues, reds, yellows, browns, greens and Purples.. even trolls are used to great effect.. The Song Of God is sung best in the Cyber Chapel, but thats just my preference.. Yes, Free Republic has a Cyber Chapel.. bring something or not you won't leave poor.. Better BRING someone POOR in spirit..
