For some reason the phrase “Music of the Spheres” popped into my head. There is no explanation of how my head works. I wondered if it came from the Bible because it is used in at least one hymn. Could it be the foreknowledge of God involving all of the music that would be written by mankind through the ages? Are there parallel words for other areas of life?
My speculation didn’t work out, according to a search the term goes back to Pythagoras, not the Bible. Still it is a great phrase.
Another interesting fact is that when you use Google to do the search, the first page, at least, is made up of commercial purchases by a group called Coldplay. You gotta love Google. They would sell their soul to the highest bidder. I guess they already have.
There are times when I feel Google is an insult to my intelligence but then it occurred to me that it might just be my intelligence that is the problem, not Google.
