The Court of Life



Can you hear that blackbird singing in the pouring rain? There - he's risen to a rooftop and is romancing the sun from its hiding-place. The bird is scaling the grey walls between resurrection and ascension. Its song curves beneath the rain. Now I see it - this song is my consciousness.

Wherever we find customs, conventions, codes we should hear the music of human life. And within that music we should discern the graceful, rooftop serenade of individual consciousness. But never for its own sake - rather because it knows what has been raised to life and what will, one day, ascend to its heavenly home. This song curves through all society and argues its case before the very court of life.
