A Song of Dots

Connecting dots with The Idea Dude

A blog is a chain
Isabella inspired this week’s ponderings. She graciously translated a song and this verse opened its wings with a roar.

my song is a chain
without beginning, without an end,
and every link contains
the song of everyone else.

A blog is an opportunity for dialogue. The blog post is merely the catalyst, the light in the window that invites us in. So is the blog not like Isabella’s song, a chain without beginning or end and every link contains the song of everyone else? A conversation with no end, with many threads leading in and leading out.

A blog is a mirror
Here’s another translation, this time, lovingly done by Bhaswati.

I saw my reflection
In your eyes.
You revealed yourself to me
By emerging from within me.

Often we reflect upon each other’s writings and sometimes our thinking is born in the posts of others? It is a blessing, to have access a million thoughts in the hopes that one will inspire. Then while searching for one, we find ten. A cry of hope emerges and with it the epiphany that we are not alone.

As my good friend Liz says on this very blog. Sometimes I think that everything I know has been set to music somewhere.

May the dots be with you!

    Hi Vern and Liz

    I loved this piece, and the metaphor of blogging as song that we sing together…

    Thank you 🙂

    Joanna

    liz, i’m really moved by how you took this song and spun it further.

    the words that follow the excerpt are, “let’s never stop singing to all of humanity”.

    here in the blogosphere, in the blogosphere of the “good blogs”, that’s what we do, we sing to humanity, don’t we?

    i’m also very moved to think that victor jara’s work can live on in this way. he was a man deeply concerned with humanity and had he survived the atrocities in chile, he probably would be right in here with us, singing to humanity on the world wide web.

    thanks again, liz. you made my day.
