THE FIFTH SYMPHONY

(This is a Direct Voice Communication from my Tribe)

What is meant by another saying to you, “That is your Fifth,” when they mean it as a compliment in reference to the great composer Ludwig van Beethoven?  They could mean that they feel a particular work of yours is thus far, your most outstanding, most identifiable, most important, or most tantamount of your life.  In any regard, it is a high compliment.

Do you have a Fifth Symphony planned?  Amid all of the other music you are writing in your life, are you planning something grand that defines who you are and what you believe in?  Perhaps it is a piece of music or a painting or a quilt.  Maybe it is simply a perfectly blended tea or enduring patience and compassion.  Maybe your ‘Fifth’ will be the ability to hear Great All’s Song in the simplest of things.

Do not believe that your Fifth is something that human history must speak of.  Your Fifth is your personal accomplishment, your own benchmark; something that is important to you.  Don’t let others tell you what is necessary and of value.  Seek that for yourself.

Compose your own Fifth.  Only you can.

“Thus Fate Knocks At The Door.”  This is the central motif (or is it?)

 for Ludwig van Beethoven’s most famous work, or so says 

the lore surrounding this symphony.  Beethoven was known to say 

anything to deflect curious pests.  He was living in occupied Austria and 

spiraling downward with his increasing deafness in the years 

it was written (1804-1808).  It became associated with his life and musical style.*****
