FEELING THE EXISTENCE OF GOD IN MUSIC



Music, sounds, the tapping of one's foot, having a consistency of sound, one sound after the other, speaking and getting a response, a timely response, hearing the sounds of crickets squeaking their legs together in the night as one would play a violin, sounds, an even flow, music that you can feel in your body, mind, heart, and soul, soprano, tenor and bass voices, mixed together like the batter of a birthday cake, spinning the beaters in the batter and getting sounds of song, licking the delicious cake batter off the spoon as each sound goes around and around in your mind and on your lips, having ears that hear this music, one sound and then predictably another, instinctively knowing what sounds come next, being able to feel the music as it vibrates your body strengthening your heart.

Hearing this music in someone's voice, as we are experts in song, having singing in our daily routine, being able to whisper musically into someone's ear to chase their fears away. Not putting someone in fear because you feel fear yourself, but instead comforting someone as you sing into their ears and they feel your peace and the beauty of your song, a lullaby as to a beautiful baby.

Having the word "Shalom" in your song which means peace, it also unfortunately means "good bye" but in our parting as we walk away from each other we leave each other in peace, because good bye also means to have peace, as you leave human company and then are in the presence of The One True Almighty G-d Who is your constant Friend, your constant Companion, as you are with Him when you feel peace. This peace you have when you are with Him, when you cannot be with your loved ones, cannot be with a Mother or Father, cannot feel the closeness of your Spouse, but instead you feel G-d as He takes their place when they are not there and He brings you peace.

Having this peace come to you in streams of music, musical instruments sounding beautifully, so you experience G-d in this music, in this Shalom, in the soothing words of someone's voice as they sing to you this music and their beautiful voice permeates your mind and heart causing them to function as a totality, as One, as you feel the One G-d in singularity but together with all of The People of Israel.

Having your intellect merge with your heart and in this great wisdom you get as a result, you find peace, you have Shalom, you have constant song, you have music and have the presence of G-d in your music, as He sings to you, whenever you need Him, whenever you desire Him.

Feeling the existence of G-d in music, in His voice, in Her voice, in Your voice, in Our voice.
