"All the world is music, you see.
There is music in atoms and music in suns. That is the range of a scale that you can see and read.
There is music in emptiness and silence between.
Everything is singing all the time, all the time.
Singing and calling for what is missing.
Your science calls it gravity, but the gods call it dance.
They dance and fornicate; they listen and sing.
They call to distant flowers when buds ring out.
Because, you see, it is not only atoms and suns that vibrate in tune.
Rocks sing, as do water and air.
The molecules that build blood and men who also build the wasp; these too sing a minor note that travels throughout the stars"
-Walter Moseley, "Bluelight"
I thought y'all would enjoy this, even if for the namesake correlation alone, hehe.
I actually thought this forum got its name from this, or something like this. I found this excerpt from the archieves @ Hyperreal, if memory serves. I used this, along with an aptly picked, bathed in blue, archetypal DJ w/groovechildren picture, as a cover piece for a local photojournalism assignment.

Nice! Of course we love the Bluelight connection, why else would everyone here go nuts over K-Mart commercials.

In all seriousness, I like the little message conveyed in that passage. Isn't it much nicer to think of the world as music.. one big harmony.

Dag, exactly --such a simple message he's conveying using all those descriptions...the effect is almost tranquilizing to read. You just sit back and let the images of the words swirl in your mind, and hopefully nod in agreement cuz this *is* the low-down on life -what harmony is- laid right about before you, there for the taking
