The Chord Behind the Planets

The Chord Behind the Planets

I found a talk on Pythagoras and the music of the spheres, and it felt like someone handed back a word I had lost. He believed the planets move in harmonies we cannot hear, one quiet chord running behind everything. That is the beat I keep trying to tune my bowls toward, out here under the New Mexico sky. If you have ever felt the night humming, this one is for you.
