No One On Earth Is Exactly Like You

This week I’ve been thinking a lot about harmony. The main thing I’ve been thinking about is the fact that in order for there to be harmony there needs to be one or more aspects that can be in harmony.

Things are always in harmony with something. Thinking about the necessity of something “other” than itself needing to participate in order for harmony, it led me to wonder how it could be possible for harmony to occur when one doesn’t have control of the other. 

Is It possibly one thing needs to be the cause of harmony, or does the other entity have to be a willing participant? I was thinking about harmonious relationships.

If the other person didn’t seek harmony, would my wish to create harmony be enough to attract harmony into the relationship and for it to become harmonious? What if their will to be unharmonious was stronger?

Does the universe always go with the “good” choice or is it just the stronger influence that wins?

I was thinking about dis-harmony within the body,  which manifests in some kind of chronic illness. Where would harmony need to be created in order to fix the illness? Is it purely in the mind or do the physical symptoms also need to be in harmony with the body?

Are there too many variables when considering harmony? Then it took me on to think about harmony within music and how sometimes when singing you can hit a perfect harmony with someone or hear a harmony in a song and it sounds so wonderful that it’s as if you enter into the notes, you can really feel them.

The same is true with some of the notes in a classical piano piece for example.  That lead me to consider whether when there is harmony, is there always that perfect sweet spot that both parties can feel and both parties want to remain in?

How long can one realistically remain in harmony though before the juxtaposition is needed in order for one to be aware of the harmony?  So much to think about with a seemingly simple subject. 

This week, moving on to the next scroll in The Greatest Salesman in the World was a treat as always. A reminder that we are unique miracles. 

Reading it, I was reminded of a very special primary school teacher.  She must have seen my talent as a child because she would always push me to sing, or play the tambourine to keep the beat for everyone, or send me to be in the choir with the older children.

I would have been six or seven when I was in her class,  I would happily harmonise to songs in class or hymns in assembly and she’d give me an approving nod from behind the piano, her glasses perched on the tip of her nose.

She was probably also the person who showed me that song writing was easy, as we’d write songs in class.  One song that she wrote with us and had three children featured, including me, was “All Different”:

All different, all different, now how can it be?
No one on earth is exactly like me.
A world full of people all different is true.
And no one on earth is exactly like you. 

Rina’s a musician with tunes on her mind
She sings and she plays for her friends all the time
Guitar and banjo and tambourine too
Her world is a song and she’ll share it with you

All different,  all different, now how can it be?
No one on earth is exactly like me.
A world full of people all different is true.
And no one on earth is exactly like you. 

I’m so grateful to Mrs Lance in class 3F. She’s definitely part of this hero’s journey. She definitely made me feel that I am nature’s greatest miracle.  My 7-year-old self wholeheartedly believed it and somewhere along the line I forgot a little… until now.
