There is a constant song of beauty that weaves its melody through the magic and mystery of life. It’s harmony resonates in each soul uniquely into a universal song of hope and longing. It beats in the cry and giggle of each newborn heard uniquely by its kin. It resounds in the laughter and dismay of every child as it matures. It resonates loudly in the initiative and autonomy of each emerging adult spoken proudly in each culture and language. Its melody reaches a perfect harmony in a life’s peaks and valleys where love is expressed well. It is mellowed and deepened in the wisdom of the elders echoed back to their progeny. It is refreshed in the calmness and the power of the sea. Its hope is renewed in the caw of a bird, or the movement of the breeze, and the bloom of a flower. It is reinforced in the hands and voices of timeless artists and the testimony of their works. It is immortalized in our memory by those gone before us who have echoed it throughout the ages. It is ever present and available in our deepest silence and solitude. It waits patiently for us to add our voice to its fullness in time.
