about

Surrendering Control

The week didn't turn out as I expected. I thought I'd be singing hymns all week. But somehow, I wasn't in the mood to sing. As a matter of fact, I couldn't stop diddling on the piano and improvising. And for some reason, new melodies and harmonies seemed to come effortlessly.

I was a little disappointed that I wasn't writing hymns but I decided to go with the flow and enjoy the piano. I noticed an air of playfulness in the room and in my music. I could almost see angels flying around the room, doing aerial tricks. It felt like a circus!

On a whim, I turned on the recorder. I played my new little piece straight through and that was it, first time was the charm. (That rarely happens.) I knew immediately what the name of my new little melody was: I called it "Angels in the House."

It was after midnight and I was tired. Bob was already asleep in the house, so I decided to bunk in the studio. I blew out the candle and said good night to the angels. And I was comforted to know that they were with me guarding my bed. I felt safe and content, and I slept peacefully. I wonder, do angels sleep?

Angels in the House represents exuberant JOY!

I'm reminded of something I read once from His Holiness the Dalai Lama: that the purpose of life is to be happy.

Would it be a contradiction to say I'm working on that?
