Make Some Music

From an old Nancy Giles piece on CBS Sunday Morning, talking about her early career playing the viola … “Music creates harmony. The world desperately needs harmony. And being part of an ensemble means working better together, for the greater good of the group. So I say get an instrument, join the chorus … get into a room with other people and make some music. Tap your feet … it’s the best way to take a sad song and make it better.”

Be joyful. Be happy. Find the music in your soul, the rhythm that will drive your life whether loudly or in your quiet spaces. We need more harmony and we can all play a part in God’s orchestra. Together, for the greater good and for the Kingdom of God, and this Holy Week is a perfect time to start. My instrument is the written word … what is yours?
