The man has blond hair
His fingers are long and lean
Like one imagines a pianist’s fingers to
be
He steps forward into the circle
And begins walking about as he plays the
flute
He is an accomplished flute player
He is an accomplished musician
And he prays for music
How he loves music!
And his song is a song of longing
Longing for music, beautiful music
Music that uplifts, that inspires, that
soothes the soul
Longing for music that speaks to the
human heart
Longing for music that speaks to us
directly
That we can understand directly
That we hear the music and know what the
song is telling us
No need for a critic’s interpretation,
no!
We understand exactly what the song is
saying
We understand it at every level of our
being
We understand it with our minds
We understand it with our emotions
We understand it with our bodies
We understand the music
And it calls forth a response from us
We hear it
We understand it
We respond to it
We must!
For the music calls!
And the music speaks to us of us
It speaks to us of our experience of life
It speaks to us of the mysteries of our
hearts
And hearing the song we understand
ourselves better
The song explains ourselves to ourselves
The music explains our passions to us
It explains our yearnings and our
longings
And it points the way for us
To soothe and satisfy these longings
The music brings us satisfaction and
peace
It brings a great sense of peace to the
very core of our beings
And this gift of music
Is freely available to all on Terra who
would partake of it
It is not reserved for a privileged few
Born with the talent for it
No it is available to one and all who
express interest
Who desire for such
The music and the true understanding of
music
Is public domain
Available to all
So that all can be enriched thereby
So that all can communicate via
So that all can learn what only music can
teach
Yes Father this is my request
That the fundamental and true
understanding
And hearing of music
Be made available to all the citizens of
Terra
That each one of us be born with this
talent
It is incipient in all of us
And only needs our desire to manifest
this gift
The musician continues his song
It is also a song of love
Of love for music
And for what music has given to him
How music has enriched his life, his
soul, his being
He is grateful for the gift of music
He is profoundly grateful
But he realizes to his dismay that his
fellow earthlings
So many of them
Are not so gifted
They hear not
They understand not
They feel it not
And they know it not
They know not how deprived they are
They hear music with their ears
And think they are hearing music
They know not to hear music with their
soul
And with their mind
And with their heart and with their body
They know not
It is actually a mercy
That they know not what they are missing
It would be cruel to tell them
Too cruel
But here on Terra
This blessing, this precious life-giving
gift
Will be available to all
Father if you are willing
Allow all of your Terran children
The gift of true and deep and profound
musical understanding
Grant us all Father the gift of music
Amen. Amen. Amen |
