\"'Resonance,'<\/p>\n

Particularly, take a look at the excerpt from Jan Zwicky’s poem<\/a>:<\/p>\n

Practicing Bach<\/strong><\/p>\n

There is, said Pythagoras, a sound
\nthe planet makes: a kind of music
\njust outside our hearing, the proportion
\nand the resonance of things — not
\nthe clang of theory or the wuthering
\nof human speech, not even
\nthe bright song of sex or hunger, but
\nthe unrung ringing that
\nsupports them all.<\/p>\n

…<\/p>\n

Is the cosmos
\nlaughing at us? No. It’s saying<\/p>\n

improvise. Everywhere you look
\nthere’s beauty, and it’s rimed
\nwith death. If you find injustice
\nyou’ll find humans, and this means
\nthat if you listen, you’ll find love.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

(Jan Zwicky [source<\/em><\/a>])<\/p>\n

Not a bad note to round off (or to kick off) any week at all, hmm?<\/p>\n
