Tunes

      Sing a tune.... "I can't sing". Play a tune ..."I can't play". Create a tune ...."I can't compose". So many fall into one of these categories. We are not all musical, or at least it would seem so. One who has perfect pitch cringes when a note is heard or played 'offkey', whereas one who doesn't have that talent goes along thinking that the singing is in harmony. Sometimes it is only when others tell him/her that the sounds are not pleasing to the ear, that there is an awareness of sound not being in balance.

      Actually, as has been mentioned before, we are part of the harmony of life. We all contribute to it, and as is the case with musical instruments, we can continually create new and different harmonies though we all play the same notes.....although some play in the higher range. What do we do when we run into offkey 'performances'? It is difficult to 'listen' to and especially if it is a daily 'tune' that never seems to vary, it can wear one down note by note, or word by word. We all experience this and it may, in fact, be coming from ourselves. The answer is balance. As in a musical composition, we must add the 'notes' that will make for a more pleasing arrangement. This is not to say that it is an easy process but then composition seldom is easy.

      We all have good performances and off key performances.....balance and imbalance that is constantly changing from day to day. Being aware of the tunes we are playing by what we vibrate or send out, we can begin to create and change our compositions. As with musical creations, we sometimes have to discard the way a certain 'tune' is created and begin again to create a better version. The purpose of this communication is to ask you to be a better life musician in the tune you play by being yourself. You are unique.
