The Beauty of Sound

Some things just amaze me. I don't know why. But they just do. Take, for instance, sound. As I was mindlessly playing with chimes the other day, I was caught in a trance by the beauty of sound. The way God made sound is phenomenal. Vibrations that travel through SPACE enter the ear and the brain interprets it. All of those factors ... are just mind blowing. The idea that music is just sounds put together ... renders me speechless and just causes me to fall even more in love with Him. It is a beautiful thing; it truly is. The length each chime or the thickness of a stringed instrument gives of a unique frequency. This frequency is part of a range of frequencies that we, as humans, are able to "hear" and interpret. The vibrations travel through the inner ear and is intercepted by the eardrum which sends signals to the brain using neurons, axons, and dendrites and our brain decodes the noise. All of this happens in milliseconds or less. 

God– You are amazing.
