Is Life Really Jazzy?<\/a><\/em><\/strong><\/div>\n
-by Lisa Col\u00f3n DeLay<\/a><\/em><\/div>\n

<\/div>\n
\u201cThere is something beautiful about a billion stars held steady by a God who knows what He is doing. (They hang there, the stars, like notes on a page of music, free-form verse, silent mysteries swirling in the blue like jazz.) And as I lay there, it occurred to me that God is up there somewhere.\u201d<\/em><\/div>\n

We\u2019re inclined to think that life is like Jazz: Random, but somehow, making strange and beautiful music. So much of life doesn\u2019t jive. The harmony is lacking and the beat is off. We imagine God somewhere up beyond outer space, holding the earth\u2013and all things\u2013in his hands, and letting the jazz of the universe play on.\u00a0What are we to do with all that jazz?<\/strong><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n

(BONUS<\/em>: Here is a great audio document on her majesty Ella Fitzgerald, the “First Lady of Song”<\/span><\/a>. Her improv (scat) is pitch-perfect and sounds a lot like a clarinet.)<\/span><\/p>\n

Check out the rest of the post I did on Ed Cyzewski’s<\/span><\/a> blog today.<\/em><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n
