silent songs

i got home late (again!) today. we had choir practice this evening (our choir director had to resked practice 'coz he has an appointment tomorrow) from 6.30-8pm. my cousin dom, lilian and i ate dinner at the chowking branch near our place.. then we headed home.

soon as i got home, i started work on our newsletter for the week. hmm. truth to tell, i am quite tired. i haven't had much sleep these past days. haha. i've been staying up late again. hehe. too much gimik. guess i've been making up for all those times when i missed out on night life hahahaha. but though i am tired and my head hurts a bit, it's still fun to layout the newsletter. and i really enjoy looking for articles to include there :)

i came across this one at www.faithwriters.com :) i liked it immediately. maybe it's the title. well. call me a sucker for music.. but anyway, it's a good one. just sharing it with you guys.

i'm too tired to write my own blogpost for today.. but this one will do.. 'coz these are my thoughts too :) read on and be blessed.. :)

Silent Songs

Is it necessary to have a mouth in order to sing? A quick answer to this would be yes, but I believe that this may not necessarily be the case.

When the sun rises it sings out to the world that it is the beginning of a brand new day. This flaming orb is completely silent yet its sunrise song of praise radiates throughout the world and awakens the spirits of all inhabitants of the earth.

Flowers have a way of singing to the soul as they burst with colors and fragrances that delight the senses. They do not sing melodic notes that can be heard, but as these stemmed jewels stand together in a vase they form a choir that bring brightness into a hospital room in the form of a silent healing song that helps to lift the weight of sickness.

A lone pastel painting hanging in an art gallery bursts with soft colors that serenade the eyes. Not a sound can be heard from it, but amidst hushed voices this framed masterpiece can hit notes that only the eyes can hear.

Sometimes hurt, loneliness and loss can serenade a life. These somber tunes can echo along every fibre of the nervous system causing torment. Sad songs can hide behind a smile. These deep internal cries of pain can only be heard by God.

It is not necessary to have a mouth in order to sing a song, for throughout life there is a silent song being sung at every moment and when we are aware of these different melodies we can begin to appreciate the world around us more fully.
