The Song of The World

Gustav Klimt

“ The earth is one country. We are waves of the same sea, leaves of the same tree, flowers from the same garden.”

-Lucius Annaeus Seneca

The song of the world belongs to the primary nature of all that is. It is life’s sacredness expressing itself, remembering its Source. But we need to listen for it; we need to hear it. We need to celebrate the song. Our ancestors’ knowing that everything they could see was sacred was not something taught but something deeply, instinctively heard.

The “sacred” is not something primarily religious or even spiritual. It is not a quality we need to learn or to develop. We all have within us a sense of the sacred, a sense of reverence, however we may articulate it. It is as natural as sunlight, as necessary as breathing.”

Llewellyn Vaughan-Lee, The Magic of Creation: The Sufi’s Way

Individual creativity is fascinating. Everyone has some kind of song they are born to sing, a song that harmonizes with the great song of the world. I believe that writers, artists and anyone who is in touch with themselves is in touch with their own personal harmonies they were born to give to the world. Geniuses know their mission and stick to it with a sense of urgency. Others may wonder if they can have any compelling mission at all.
