“Celebrate Life”

by Dr. Larry Morris

There's an old Yiddish saying, "He who can't dance says that the band can't play." Sometimes we, for one reason or another, get out of sync with the flow of life and we start to blame the flow of life for being out of sync with us. Life is like a tuning fork in an orchestra—the tuning fork has perfect pitch, so all the instruments are brought into alignment with the pitch of the tuning fork. We too can attune ourselves, bring ourselves into agreement and alignment, with the basic goodness of this life. The progression of seasons in nature is flawless. The tree never argues about bringing forth new green leaves in Spring. Flowers and birds come into natural harmony with the rhythms of the season. We too can come into harmony with nature and with ourselves. We don't have to make ourselves over. We are already one with the oneness of all that is: our inner most being is in touch in agreement with the nearest sunbeam and the farthest star in the most distant galaxy.
