The orchestra

We are part of the orchestra, and we get to play some of the instruments. Maybe not all of the instruments, but some of them.

In some situations, we’ll be the concertmaster. In others, we’ll be third viola. We might have a solo, or we might have thirty measures of rest.

Sometimes we’ll be the salient call of the trumpet. Other times, we’ll be the deep warmth of the double-bass.

The point is, there are times when we contribute quite prominently, and there are times we contribute in a supporting roll.

But we’re always contributing, because we’re part of the orchestra.
