Song of the Universe

Somewhere in my theological meanderings, I came across the idea that God, the Divine, the Universe, sings creation into being, each and every moment. That if God were ever to stop singing, creation would cease to exist. Now, I find it interesting that quantum physicists have figured out that everything in the universe is vibrating, is in motion... at various levels. The entire thing is like a grand symphony... with a hugely wide range of octaves! From the lowest/slowest vibration to the highest/fastest vibration. We are all just energy strings of vibration... Now, if God is singing the universe into being... does it not make sense that we are all singing that same song with God? That in our very existence, in our very vibration of being, we are joining that grand symphony, that grand orchestra and contributring to the most amazing piece of music/song ever created?? Makes sense, no? And just think... even the trees of the forest are singing... at their level of vibration... We can even hear it/connect with it... if we go into the forest and sit quietly and just silence our own thoughts, our own conversation and begin to listen to theirs...

We are born for music... everyone knows that... little kids love music, love to dance... love to sing. And then along comes a well-meaning school teacher who shushs the loud, exuberant, off-tune child to "just move your lips"... and the song of that child is muted and stifled... And we end up with a generation of adults who love music... but who are afraid to sing because they were told at some point that they really don't have a good voice... Wow... If ever there is a crime to the spirit... that is the one... To quash the song of one aspect of creation is to quash the spirit of that person/created being... So, wherever you are... sing, dance... join the greatest symphony in the world! If only in the privacy of your shower... or maybe out in the world??
