Happy Monday...The Composer, the Orchestra and the Blues...

Great music does not begin with the orchestra, the conductor or the player of the instrument. It begins in the mind of the composer. The creator of the music hears what he wants then he begins to write the music that flows from his mind. The highs, the lows, the loudness and the quiet are put on paper that is graphed and the notes that are written is an art form flowing across the lines like a fast moving river filled with slow turns, rapids and quiet waters. The composer at times is unappreciated because the Conductor and the Orchestra with all the talent, ability and performance brings the music to life. And we are moved by what we hear as our emotions are attacked and attracted. We cry, clap and applaud as we respond to what we feel thru the music because it fits together. Often times the composer slips something in unexpected and the orchestra follows because that's the way it's written. And the music dips and dives on an eventful journey, pulling us into to the mind of the composer and we realize our lives are reflected by what we hear and feel by what the composer has written.

Life doesn’t' just happen when your following God, sometimes that’s the way it's written. We don't understand at times what our Great Composer has written for us and there are times when it's a mystery but we play the notes because it’s the way the music is written. The Composer knows what he wants to happen and makes it happen when we follow Him. He writes, so that many times others may see and know what they see and hear is not of fate or happenstance but written from the view and the mind of the Divine Creator with the music fitting together as the rhythm that is our life plays out.

The music will lead us as we travel along many times not knowing the next note or the next page but rest assured, it will be just what we need. And we follow having complete faith in the Composer. He writes beautifully at times and mysteriously as well but when the final note is done and the last of the instruments wind down, the pieces will come together and the work that is our life becomes a masterpiece all because we choose to follow the Great Composer.

The Composer writes, the music fits and we follow…

And the blues???
Well there ain't nothin' wrong with the blues... Just keep playing and don't stop....


Be Encouraged...
