The Harmony

("...Let reason, the gift divine, be thy highest guide.
Then should you be separated from the body,
you will be imperishable, a divinity, a mortal no more."
Pythagoras, The Golden Verses)



Look around you!
There's music in everything we see.
The sky with its lofty tones resounding
from a rainbow harp.
The forest its violins
whose quivering strings sweetly plucked
by bows of the wind,
serenade a sleepy earth
like songbirds singing hymns.


And there is play.
And love.


Why not change residencies for a day?
Permit yourself to slip past
the barricades of time and space,
to venture free from the trodden path
into the open fields of worlds unclaimed.


Life is a flower.
Let its petals unfurl and bloom
into the magic colors of its fate.
Forever nourish the roots
from which it sprang,
to blossom forth that vital sweetness
which makes all in your magic garden
wax with the music of love.
