harmonies of heaven and earth

[ourobourous]

Somehow for some reason, our minds/bodies have been given the capability to feel joy.

"In most musical
instruments the
resonator is made
of wood while the
actual sound generator
is of animal origin.
In cultures where music
is still used as a magical
force, the making of an
instrument always
involves the sacrifice
of a living being.
That being's soul then
becomes part of the
instrument and in the
tones that come forth,
the 'singing dead,' who
are ever present with
us, make themselves
heard."
