when you think of your daily life,it can resemble a symphony.perhaps a slight melody held in and embraced by silence(waking)then the other instruments come in to support(morning).later in the day,perhaps a contrapuntal line weaving and wending around the melody with full orchestration.variation on the themes(late afternoon),then something quite extraordinary happens.the orchestration finally pulls away and we are back to the simple melody surrounded by silence(night)-then silence(sleep).

how do we make this symphony each and every day? first off me must be open to love.not clinging or holding onto or conditional but simply love.

in many ways we do not 'fall in love'as much as open to love.think in your own life.that special someone came into your life via circumstances.you started to talk.gradually you found doors and walls and barriers coming down or opening.finally something quite extraordinary happened-you found that it was you and this person naked.no pretense,no wall,no barrier you were naked in being.you were open.

if we can find our lives to be this way-open-we find that we hear various strains and variations of melody.we might perceive contrapuntal lines.we might sense,feel ourselves and what presents open.

if we listen,truly listen to life,to ourselves this way,our life can become the first paragraph of today's entry.

enjoy the music of the day!

peace,

T
