METRONOME UNITY

While I'm not smart enough to understand the physics behind this amazing video, I am intrigued and fascinated by it.  Watch carefully and stay with it long enough to see what happens.  Everything I write below it will make little sense unless you do.

If you're the impatient type, watch the first 30 seconds then go to 2 minutes 30 seconds, but you'll miss the process!  You'll see the result.




Life lessons can be found most everywhere if one is teachable.  Even this video illustrates a few truths to me.  

On one hand. . .point:

* Discordant efforts pull us out of sync with others.
* Community can form unity.
* Creativity may begin with chaos but end in harmony.
* God gave us differing spiritual gifts for His glory and for others.
* Bind us together, Lord, even with our various colors and quirks

On the other hand. . .counterpoint:

* Conformity may destroy creativity.
* Don't compromise who you are to please others.
* Don't cave into peer pressure.  Be yourself.
* Letting others think for you overrides your inner voice.
* Be careful who controls you.  Remember the Nazis.

Lessons are everywhere!  They may even speak from opposite viewpoints!
