I learned something new yesterday...

After doing the dishes and building an entire bowling alley in Gageys room, I decided to spent, some quality game time with the boys. "Who wants to play Guitar Hero", I asked? They said, "sure"! Of course anything worth experiencing, is worth experiencing fully. So I connected Jayces Xbox 360 to his stereo system, with some cabling I picked up the other day in town. I turned the volume knob up about half way and pushed the power button on the system. It was at this moment, that the velvet robes parted and the Pearly Gates opened. It sounded fantastic. The room was filled with Classic Rock. Turning off the light in the room, immerses you into the game. The games, stage lighting, covered the rooms walls with reds, greens and blue hues. I love the feeling of a dimly lit night club with nothing more than stage lighting casting it's glow upon the surroundings. After an awkward couple hours of teaching my left hand what buttons to push and my right how to strum. I noticed something peculiar. As the complexity of the songs increased I was able to follow along with ease, as long as I could feel the music. I noticed that songs, that where unfamiliar to me where difficult follow but those that I knew and loved would just flow. I realized that if I cleared my mind and just played, my hands just played the notes. If I thought about what I was doing then things went haywire. This leads me to believe if that in life, we can spend too much time analyzing things, causing things to go haywire....but if you fully immerse yourself and become one with everything around you, everything just seems to flow. Are we all not just a small part of a huge symphony in someway. The question is has the symphony been prewritten or are we creating it as we go?
