Silence & Song
We are like music
Just as every note will rise and fall in a symphony
So must every living being rise and fall in life
Every note will elevate to a climax and then fade away
Each role a being plays in life will do the same
All notes are a different variation of sound
Each differing note is essential to the total composition
Every high, every low, and every varying tone
While the individual notes disappear
The great song lives everlastingly
We are like instruments playing notes
Just as an instrument is a conduit for sound
The human vessel is a conduit for the soul
Sound ripples from the harp
But the harp is not the sound
Echoes of spirit travel through man
But the vessel is not the soul
We are temporary expressions of nature
The nature of spirit is reminiscent to music
There are many instruments but, one song
There are many vessels but, one life
That is why it is called the uni-verse
One-song ecstatically expressed throughout all time
Each of us an instrument being played
If one learns to play in tune with the rest
The orchestra’s guidance will lead to an epiphany
All life inherently belongs to the eternal
Just as all notes inherently belong to music
Every individual note sharing the same origin
All notes emerge out of and return to silence
Every sound being played is temporary
While the silence is immortal
