as if… in the first place

singing…….
Current mood: contemplative

there was eru, the One, who in arda is called iluvatar, and he made the first ainur, the Holy Ones, that were the offspring of his thought, and they were with him before aught else was made. and he spke to them, propounding to them themes of music; and they sang before him, and he was glad. but for a long while they sang only each alone, or but few together, while the rest hearkened; for each comprehended only that part of the mind of iluvatar from which he came, and in the understanding of their brethren they grew but slowly. yet ever as they listened they came to deeper understanding, and increased in unison and harmony.

and it came to pass that illuvatar called together all the ainur and declared to them a mighty themme, unfolding to them things greater and more wonderful than he had yet revealed; and they glory of its beginning and the splendour of its end amazed the ainur, so that they bowed before iluvatar and were silent.

then iluvatar said to them,”of the theme that i have declared to you, i will now that ye make in harmony together a Great Music. and sincei have kindled you with the Flame Imperishable, ye shall show forth your powers in adorning this theme, each with his own thoughts and devices, if he will. but i will sit and hearken, and be glad that through you great beauty has been wakened into song.”

then the voices of the ainur, like unto harps and lutes, and pipes and trumpets, and viols and organs, and like unto countless choirs singing with words, began to fashion the theme of iluvatar to a great music; and a sound arose of endless interchanging melodies woven in harmony that passed beyond hearing into the depths and into the heights, and the places of the dwelling of iluvatar were filled to overflowing, and the music and the echo of the music went out into the Void and it was not void. never since have the ainur made any music like to this music, though it has been said that a greater still shall be made before iluvatar by the choirs of the ainur and the children of iluvatar after the end of days. then the themes of iluvatar shall be played aright, and take Being in the moment of their utterence, for all shall then understand fully his intent in their part, and each shall know the comprehension of each, and iluvatar shall give to their thoughts the secret fire, being well pleased.

its a beautiful thing to think we’ve been imparted a music within us unlike any other imparted in anyone else, by our maker to in turn sing it to our fullest in the way we live to honor and bring glory to him… and then to see the song we were singing was really a melody of the same, each combining to make the One song complete. makes ME happy!!! have a lovely day!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

what? what is this?
these boudaries we’re trapped in,
why don’t we just walk out?
enatangling ourselves by walking in circles
and the entrapment the knot we tied ourselves
its a facade that the scales cause us to see

the boundaries are my ocean
and its bringing me the horizon
will i ever get there?
does it even exist?
while i’m sailing on THIS ship -bring me that horizon cause i’m
FREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!
