Music of the Spheres

Michael Hayes, among others, has posited the idea that the fundamental processes of the universe are identical to those which are utilized to create music. If you look up his website you will find some articles on the subject that are very interesting. I choose to believe that God is a far more majestic version of Beethoven and that we are musicians on His stage. We may not realize that we are making music, but think about it. What better way for God to keep track of how we are doing than to listen to the music that we make with our lives. What better way to judge how well we did when we transit over to the other side, then to sit and listen to the symphony of our life. What kind of music are you making with your life? There will be much discord in my symphony, I am sad to say. Perhaps when I live again, I will make a better score. When our symphony is perfect in every way (think of Beethoven's ninth symphony) then we will be allowed to play on a greater stage to a more discerning audience. Next time that you feel comfortable in driving 65 in a 40 mph zone, think about the notes that you are making. When you overstep yourself to help somebody else succeed, think also of your notes. Its not a bad way to keep track of your life.
