Harmony

December 16Harmony,brew unto others,jessica hubbard,zach hartman

I am thankful for harmony. Musically, harmony refers to the blending of notes, either instruments or vocals, in a pleasing manner to create chords that have a richness or fullness. I love harmony. I think that is why I enjoy the Bee Gees and singing in the choir at church, both of which stress harmonies. Harmony is derived from the Greek work which refers to joint, agreement, and concord. In human relations, harmony means that people are a oneness in thought and deed; ie., they get along very well. It is interesting that in harmony there are different notes which blend and sound good together. In harmonious human relations, different people, different ideas, merge together to form a constructive relationship. So being in harmony does not mean there is always agreement but it means that differences blend together well and compliment one another.

This photo was taken at my church's Friday evening coffeehouse Brew Unto Others. Zach Hartman and JEssica Hubbard sang and played with the band that entertained during the coffee house. The coffee house director, Darren Kimball, is on drums.

harmony

in the course of human relationships

there are those good and those bad

you could say the positive ones are in harmony

and the others are just sad

sometimes when i try to sing

it can be said of me

there can be no artful blending

when i sing out of key.
