Heaven #3684 Traversing Heaven
Dear Gloria
in:
"Come to your senses, beloveds, and declare yourself free from all you imagine that keeps you prisoner of your own thoughts. Your sentence was commuted long ago. Your term of penance was not assigned to you. You thought it was. Right now you are free. Right now you ride on the stars like a seahorse and you make sunshine of the stars all."
could you paraphrase for me this last segment: "you make sunshine of the stars all"?
And further:
"Now you make the music that the world is asking for, that you have been asking for, and is yours to sing. It is My song you are to sing. Hum it now, and then swell with the joy of it. Be a singer of note, and everyone will listen to the same song that vibrates within everyone. Sing that song now. Sing a beautiful note. Sing for Me. Sing for you. Sing for all. Sing."
is "note" purposely at the singular? And what would be the meaning of "Be a singer of note"? Would it be "Be a singer of one note"?
Thanks
Is it clear, beloved
Is it clear, beloved Normand, that note is used two ways in this paragraph. There is the meaning as notes of a song, and there is note that means of importance or perhaps renown. Note in the sentence you are wondering about, I believe means: Be a singer of renown. Be known for your singing. God is having so much fun playing with words!
You make the stars as bright as suns.
Dear Gloria, I would never
Dear Gloria, I would never have been able to see those two meanings of "note" in the singular form. My understanding of English is not subtile enough to catch that double meaning. So to my understanding :"be the singer of a note" would turn out in french as : "Sois un chanteur de notes notable/Be a notable singer of notes". Ouf!!!
Perhaps if Heavenletters where given directly in French, I would be able to appreciate God's fun playing with words. And I would be very curious in "reading" how God would be playing with words in French. But God has decided otherwise…
About : "You make the stars as bright as suns", I thought that stars were already suns. Would it means that the stars would be made as bright as the sun of our solar system, like if they were as close to us as our sun?
Adding the "Bright light overtakes beyond the speed of night", I feel that translating this Heavenletter is more of a steeplechase horse riding than a seehorse riding the stars. But don't worry, Gloria, I still enjoy translating Heavenletters. The boons are much much higher than the blocks.
Dear Normand, I also could
Dear Normand, I also could not make sense of "Be a singer of note" until I found this explanation for tone: The characteristic vocal sound made by a songbird or other animal on http://www.yourdictionary.com/note. (I'm eternally grateful to Jochen for finding these two on-line dictionaries.)
When I thought about this, I remembered an expression in Dutch about the singing of birds, which is : "De vogels zingen het hoogste lied" (The birds are singing the highest song), which means that they're singing at the top of their voices, as they may do early in the morning in summer.
This expression is appropriate in this case and maybe you can find a similar expression in French.
Dear Luus, your
Dear Luus, your interpretation is plausible but perhaps a little far from the text. Gloria's interpretation sticks with the wordplay. "Be a singer of note", as suggested by Gloria, would be read as "Be a singer of note (notoriety)" and at the same time "Be a singer of (a) note. I still think that this wordplay is twisted because note is at the singular. You can't sing a one note song (perhaps if you try hard). But if God said so...
These questions and
These questions and discussions are so stimulating, Normand! And the conclusion you come to at the end of your comment is so lovely.
I think the important thing to know about galactic seahorses is in the preceding sentence: Right now you are free. In freedom, real freedom, what is not possible? Imagine not being bound by any known facts, not even cosmological ones. Nothing is far-fetched then.
And again from my dictionary:
of note 1 worth paying attention to : many of his comments are worthy of note. 2 important; distinguished : Roman historians of note include Livy, Tacitus, and Sallust.
