What would it sound like if someone put a soundtrack to my life? Every life, if so done, must span across several genres: adult contemporary on a first date, classical when solving some difficult mathematical equation, heavy metal when we're reveling in some excess or another, perhaps a single flute when we're alone and just thinking.... I wonder when our favorite song would play, if at all? What songs truly define who we are?
Our songs are not alone. It joins in the tunes of others, in a harmony when we agree, in a cacophony when we argue. Sometimes we can hear some of our own tunes listening to the music of others: the way they laugh, the way they cry, the look in their eye when they wonder. It may be profitable to listen for the turns of the melody in others that we have heard in ourselves, so that we may kindle in those others the glad songs we have heard our own soul sound. In the end, more often than not, we may find that the other person and you have been singing the same song, just in a different key.

What would happen if your songs became intertwined with another set of songs? If you found another sound track that was closely identical to yours. So close in meaning to your soul that you could not ignore its power. Not able to move, to speak, to think. Entranced in anothers world, not sure where you are. Let it be heaven, hell or life just twisted into oblivion. When those two keys of music collide, and unlock a whole different universe. Only the lucky are able to attain this universe. An elite place for the fortunate. For which I will never venture to.

Another great analogy of the Soul, Stand. Most of the time, I hear a sad tune in my heart. I am a manic depressive and have heard the music of chaos and frenzied splendor when I am manic.
I can relate to what Nemesis is describing....the intertwining of songs, or Souls. I havent yet found it in another person, place or level of consciousness.... The music i hear is not uplifting at all...just slow, sad and achingly disheartening. It is music no one else can hear or fully grasp onto. they are the pinings of my own lonliness.
And i wish that the music you can hear from God, i can hear one day. But i guess to hear it, I must first 'listen.'

For the first time in a long while, I actually took the time out to pray. And when I was done, I felt the smallest burdens being lifted off my heavy shoulders. Well, my back still hurts from everyday strife....but I managed to look up....if not, briefly.
There is power in prayer.
