Life’s Symphony
― Matshona Dhliwayo
We are all musicians in a universal orchestra. Each of us uniquely blessed and divinely provisioned with a distinct musical gift, no two of which are alike.
Every one of us with an essential part in the symphony of life.
We start by exploring the instrument we’ve been given to play in this lifetime. Connecting with our inner music and learning our soul’s song.
Following the beat of our own drum.
Then, as social creatures with brains wired for music and collective collaboration, we are called as if by an invisible conductor — God, The Universe, our neurogenetics — to be part of something larger.
To bring together our individual instruments and the music in our souls to find harmony with those of our fellow beings.
To join the universal orchestra.
To create grander, more elaborate and exquisite music as a collective than we can on our own.
To perform life’s symphony.
At times the music is ethereal and otherworldly — reflecting a collective consciousness and shared humanity amongst the players — at others a cacophony of dissonant elements as we play over each other at a fever pitch, striving to make ourselves heard.
