Symphony

Symphony

What is a symphony?

Is it not a collection

of musical notes

from a large variety

of instruments

blended by a maestro

into a beautiful piece of music

that delights our ears?

What if we view ourselves

as individual notes

in the symphony of God?

The All That Is, The Universe,

the Cosmic Matrix, God

take your pick

whatever name you choose

to call that Divine force

that is in all things.

What if we are all here

to see how we fit

in the Symphony

of The All That Is?

Some of us never ask

or even think of this question.

We scurry all about

in our humanness

focusing on family, work,

all the human stuff

with which we are involved.

To some of us,

this realization comes early.

Then some of us

only realize we are part

of something larger, more profound

after we’ve been here a while.

But what if we are a note

in a far more important

piece of work?

We go through our lives,

and suddenly things

seem different.

We go through these

shifts of awareness

where everything

just seems to flow better,

makes more sense.

You know, if I view this

from a higher perspective

everything changes!

Now we are getting somewhere

this symphony is the one

to which I belong.

Then we find

we are still searching.

Am I in the right movement

of this symphony?

We begin to see

the beauty of it.

Once we find

the right movement,

we search for

the right instrument.

Eventually, we realize

all this while

we were looking

for the right place

for our note to play.

May you delight

in finding yours.

May you realize how many

different times and ways

your note has played.

How varied your

playlist has become.

How many lives

you have touched

with the note

that plays from

your heart of hearts.

All My Love Always, Keith
