Ruminations (part 1) "We're not ahead, we're behind. We're not above, we're below... Like the brush in the painter's hand, we have no idea where we are." ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Rumi ...how true yet today the words. Is it not painfully clear that some design other than our own directs the cosmic orchestra in which we play upon our own instrument. Individually our tunes may be sweet or devoid of tonality altogether, while the collective whole plays the harmony of the universe. In fact, we are the instruments in the celestial musicians' hands, and we are the brushes that daub color upon the eternal canvas. Where we alight next we know not, nor can we predict which pigment or which note we shall next play. Let us strive to play our notes clear, and mark well our page without fear. 12/28/2001 Written December 28th, 2001 © on Dec 28 2001 07:33 AM PST, Heinz Scheuenstuhl    0 • 10
