alright, i admit it.
sometimes i get a little obsessive.
and i've gotten a bit obsessive about a song i just heard.
it's called Everything is Music
and it's sung by bob sima.
or at least, that's who i heard at first.
i believe kris delmhorst is the original birther of the piece.
it's bits of rumi quotes in a song.
i keep listening to it.
it somehow over and over again puts life in perspective for me.
it's like a prayer that's being sung TO me and reminding me that i AM a prayer...
i love it.
and it's got me thinking -
the whole 'everything is music' concept....
i can't say what rumi meant by that, or what bob means by it or what kris means by it -
but i can say how it's got me thinking about EVERYTHING being music -
even the really hard stuff.
even the really REALLY hard stuff.
even the stuff i don't want to be there.
everything.
and i'm wondering if i can take that concept into the situations
that are hard and icky and remember that. and know it. and live it.
'everything is music.'
'let it play.'

smiling with you - what a great analogy and comparison and personification - got me thinking (you do that a lot). . .so is the stuff we don't like noisybadloud music? Is our goal to make better music in and with our lives? What I like best is that 'THIS' kind of music - living music . . .is something one doesn't have to be musically talented to do. . .smiling. . .
'living' music, diane! we all get to sing along! i love that! :)
Rose, My grandfather used to tell me that God sang the Universe into creation. I have always loved the concept that we were all sung into being. Considering how much music fills our world, it should be reverence and prayer...
~smile~
god sang the universe into creation......what a gorgeous thought! your grandpop was a pretty nifty guy, wasn't he? singing a little prayer for us all this morning! :)
