MUSIC – Upward Arrow or Slashing Sword

Good Morning!

During the week such a mis-mash medley of sounds. Something to think about.

divine music

Music. This image came up as From Divine Source.

My observations this past week have taught me that MUSIC like all forms of art can be incredibly beautiful and nurturing to soul and body. (or destructive to well-being).

There is a lot of music which is ………earth bound. This music bring heart and mind and spirit and keeps it anchored on, culture – how dangerous this can be in a polluted teenage culture, ethnic culture, or even personal PREFERENCE. I only ‘like’ this kind of music.

The music that is not age, time, or in any way anchored to the earth I have personally put in a category ……….(bland….part of normal life and living)

Or….. the type of music which like an arrow points the human heart to BETTER.

This can be poignant, heart-breaking but is always BEAUTIFUL and in incomprehensible ways ministers to the spirit and lifts the soul.

Some music in this arrow points always to ETERNITY. Like Antonia Stadivaria (1644-1732) who crafted violins and influenced the tonal quality of these instruments forever. One he crafted he named Messiah-Salabue Stradivaris which is probably PRICELESS today. He discovered it had a tonal quality which transcended time and space and took him to Heaven. Only in the hands of the most gifted and sensitive musician could this quality be achieved.

Oh how careful we need to be in our day that the BEAUTY and higher quality of music’s potential is never allowed to be decimated by the sword of driven public opinion or even MONEY. Driven sometimes down to places they did not want to go. DRIVEN!

May music always in the perspective of life’s best, continue to bless our human existence and sometimes grab our attention and shoot our spirit/souls ever higher and higher. Words and music together achieve this.

The danger always is the RIGHT WORDS will never sanatise music which by its very inbuilt nature drives downwards.

Music can inspire upwards. Keep us locked in beautiful here places. or

drive us downwards towards the thoughts and places that do not make life beneficial or beautiful.

Whatever you are doing look always to higher and BEAUTIFUL and let Divine Love be your Guide.

Blessings and Love.

About Faye

I m a wife, mother and grandmother. I have always enjoyed writing even from an early age. My book Beyond the Ashes has been written as a labour of love. All the characters are real to me and their story needed to be told. As a Christian my desire is to write General Fiction stories about real people but Hope and a desire for 'better' will always be part of the journey. I have had several short stories published over the years and moderate success in writing competitions. I realized as I was thinking today (30/01/15) that perhaps I should add here that I have had life experiences of many valley times but also many mountain top experiences. I can understand and be beside anyone who finds their life in tatters because I have 'been' there. Of course as I have got older as well there have been the added sorrows of losing not only older family members but also one by one finding the dearest of friends and the ones of greatest support and care also dying. On the site of rich mountains has been my certainty of the value of marriage and how grateful I am that after loss and sadness I made a happy and long-lasting marriage commitment. The one who was my best friend back then is still my best friend 45 years later. Beyond the Ashes touches upon the POWER of LOVE when folk can forget about their own personal 'feelings' and reach out in LOVE to a desperate and broken person.
