I was thinking today, while I was singing to my newest favorite song. Life is really like an unanticipated playlist of songs. If you were to sing a single note or hold a single tone for any length of time...eventually it will just become noise. Irritating. Obnoxious. Joyless. It's the change in the notes that we are listening for, determining if we like or dislike a particular melody. It is the change in the harmonies, the variation in the keys, that defines that which is music. Sometimes these songs are beautiful and ease our angst. Sometimes you dance across the Earth, laughing and carefree...and sometimes the melancholic rhythms remind us of our weary hearts and battles lost. Our lives are just one long, unknowable playlist of notes... so we might as well dance while we can...and create our own Music of Life.
