A reflection on music

Every tribe in the world dances and has it's own music. In the most remote parts of the Earth you will find people playing drums and wind instruments. I am led to believe that it is part of our spiritual being. In the book of Genesis in 4:21 it says Jubal was the father of all those who play harp and flute. God created us to be musical. The bible says that there will be music in heaven. It even says that all the saved souls will sing a song in together . This is absolutely wild to me that music was important enough to talk about in the word of God. The world today does not think its important for children to learn about music in school. I wonder what God thinks of this. God must love music too. I wonder what the music sounds like in heaven. If  it is a perfect place then everyone should dig the tunes there. I wish more people played the harp. It is almost a forgotten instrument. There was this girl that I knew a few years ago who learned how to play harp at the university. One day I see her at 23rd and Guadalupe playing the most beautiful song I'd ever heard on the street. Everyone was stopping to listen to her. At one point there was a crowd of twenty people and they kept putting money in her basket. This was probably one of my most memorable happenings hanging out on the drag. I was real happy for her. I know why they used the harp so much back in the days of the prophets. You hear it and you think that God is going to come out of the sky. It is like chocolate on the tongue to my ears. God has to love music. If we are made in his image than for sure he must. I wonder if he even dances.
