The "Concert" of Life

In a cute little cafe' some musicians gather weekly to play just for fun. Whoever wants to join in, is welcome. Different kinds of music, of instruments, of styles, of voices... But all are harmoniously blended. Is life similar to these improvised concerts? I think it is. When thoughts and actions are positive, also relationships (with others and with self) are okay. When they are not, they resemble a badly matched band where the musicians are unable to play together. No one expects the perfection of Beethoven's 5th symphony played by the Metropolitan Philharmonic. We can be contented with a simple, pleasant melody, just because this is what life is capable of being - in spite of all its mistakes and imperfections.
