BEING GRATEFUL

Life can be a great symphony below and beyond the canopy of stars. Silence becomes the canvas where the music will sound. We need to be silent in order to let in the timpani, then the strings, then the bassoon, the horns, the tenors; then all together in a specific lapse of time as the orchestra director marks the rhythm and the different musicians interactions. The composer wrote the music sheet. The musicians make the notes actually sound. The orchestra director will put together the musicians and elicit the beauty of the symphony as one piece. Everyone will have our time to play. That can be an instant or several minutes. The universe will let us play alone, with the rest and eventually will put us in silence again.
