Romans 1:21
Although they knew God, they did not glorify Him as God, nor were thankful, but became futile in their thoughts, & their foolish hearts were darkened.
A family of mice lived inside a large piano. All the dark spaces of their world were filled with sound and harmony. At first, the mice were impressed by it. They drew comfort and wonder from the thought that someone who made the music, though invisible to them, was close to them.
Then one day, a daring mouse climbed up part of the piano and returned very thoughtful. He had discovered how the music was made. Wires were the secret; tightly stretched wires of graduated lengths which trembled and vibrated. They must revise all their old beliefs. None but the most conservative could believe longer in the Unseen Player.
Later another explorer carried the explanation further. Hammers were now the secret, numbers of hammers dancing and leaping on the wires. This was a more complicated theory, but it went to show that they lived in a purely mechanical and mathematical world. The Unseen Player came to be thought to be a myth.
But the Pianist continued to play...>> this little story I took from SYFC 'Communique' kinda reminds me to always remember the Player who sustains the very beautiful live music in me every moment.
