A Random Thought

Recently I have been musing at the endless variety of music and songs a simple 7 notes can generate. Ok, granted they are on ascending scales, but the infinite possibilities they create for music just defy my comprehension. Being a music lover, I would often marvel at the simple catchiness of certain tunes and how simple they really are, only to be astounded at the depth of emotion of the next. Favourites include "Only Hope" by Mandy Moore, Legends of the Fall theme song "The Ludlows", theme song of "The Piano", of Gladiator, "Paradise" by the Piano Guys. Catchy tunes include "Return of the MAC" (the one with the chorus "like the ceiling can't hold us", "Miss Independent" by Neyo, "Hymn for the weekend" by Coldplay, "Go Love Yourself" by Justin Bieber etc. The list goes on and on. Not to mention the transcendental tunes of certain Christmas carola (eg rendering of Angels We Have Heard on High" by The Piano Guys), hymns and Christian songs.

Last last night, I was reading two articles shared by a fellow facilitator, one of which used very big words and represented something I have felt in my bones ever since I was a new Christian but in such a theoretically sophisticated way, that's i marvelled at the endless variety of words and books and literature a mere 26 letters can produce.

You could think the same of 7 Colours and the infinite variety of images and paintings that result from them.

Im not sure if I'm going anywhere with this, except that God likes to use simple building blocks to make very complex and different and sophisticated designs. Take our cells and genome for instance. How we can apply it to daily life? I Guess it assures us that we will never be obsolete cos just when we thought all was said and done and we can never come up with an original thought or idea or thing worth being useful to anyone, this assures us that we definitely can, and we ought to keep ideating and innovating! -And that combinations of things in new ways can certain produce something quite different and new.
