How did yesterday go? What sort of symphony did you hear coming
from your mind, heart, soul, body and the others around you? Right now, it can feel like my life is lived
in a series of demisemihemidemisemiquaver notes (by the way, I did not make
that up! It is an actual musical note
that means two hundred fifty-sixth note ~ that is a note that goes by so fast
it is a blimp, a blur that can barely be heard or held.) We live life in such a series of notes racing
and running up and down the scale that our minds spin and hearts race, we keep
pushing ourselves convinced that if we can just keep up, all will be well,
until we fall exhausted (physically, emotionally, spiritually) into bed at
night for a restless sleep to wake up the next day already feeling behind.
Good Lord!
What are the notes on the page
of your life? Look at your
calendar. Where are the whole notes that
are held out in a sustained way? Where
are the half notes that are played?
Where are the measures (not just brief breathers) of rest? Look at your calendar. Is it so full that days spill into the next
in a blur? Maybe it is so blank with too
much rest? Where are those energizing
eighth note moments that stir and swirl with energy and where are those moments
followed by rest for your soul to catch up?
Or are you living a series of demisemihemidemisemiquaver notes (who knew
you would learn a new word today?).
Listen to the rhythm of your life today and how that impacts and leaves
an impression on your life. May our
Composer and Conductor call us back to a tempo that fills you with grace and
love. Amen.
