At the end of the performance of this instrumentalists, I asked a musician sitting next to me as to how they could perform with different instruments in such harmony! He replied, 'hours of practice'!
This set in motion a train of thoughts in my mind! The instrumentalists can bring such an uplifting confluence of different musical instruments because they agreed to play together following the musical notes and harmonies with each other! It is a commitment for harmony!
I have been through some intensely difficult situation where the leadership of an organisation had a differing approach to some major issues facing them. What resulted was disorder and disregard for each other, which still continue!
Any work we are engaged in is a confluence of intent and content, through the volitional efforts of every one involved! Any discordance intentional or incidental diffuses the outcome!
Yesterday my colleagues got ready the reading room after two days of preparation! When we walk in to the reading room, what is striking is the fresh ambience of the room with the neatly arranged books in the shelf. They even got ready the cataloguing of the books in the computer! It was a demonstration of confluence of efforts from everyone!
I wonder whether this way of looking at our work place relationships would be the norm rather than an exception! We are made 'fully alive' when we incorporate others into the orbit our thinking, and planning collaboratively!
We live reduced lives when we keep our doors shut to others or go our way looking for our own identity and personal success! W have a shared identity, in which others are part of our lives!
