“… we are challenged every day to say yes to the movements of life, to see it all through, without pause, staying in relationship to the music of life and each other, adjusting as we go, not knowing what will happen next. Yet even out of tune, this messy and magnificent practice, so essentially human, will let us hear—briefly—the music of the Universe being the Universe. To hear this larger music while grinding out the small music of our lives is what sages of all traditions have called glimpsing eternity.”
–Mark Nepo “Without Pause,” poet, philosopher, and author on the lessons of life offered by Oscar Wilde and Beethoven.

Susan, I’ve taken so many similar photos (I attend lots of fiddle / banjo jams). There’s just something about the rhythm and the work of music. Nicely captured!

Many times when listening to the violin play, I get goose bumps. Well, guess what? I got goose bumps reading this quote while admiring your photo. Your words and photos are another kind of music of the Universe.
