God is the composer of the Song of Life and we are all singers of that Song.
When one of us dies, the Song sung here on earth must change; the notes sung by that person are no longer a part of the melody.
But the notes aren’t gone. They have been written into the melody of the Song of Heaven,
the song sung in the presence of the Author of Music.
And that song is a song of such ineffable sweetness and beauty that we mortals cannot bear to hear it - it is the song that bursts forth only when we escape the chains of the flesh, and our spirits soar to our Maker.
It is the melody of the universe.
