Lectio Divina "Sunny Blues"

After reading sunny blues I found it to be a very good story. I don't read too many stories but for some reason I found this one very interesting. It could of been the characters I related to or it could of been music of conversation that they kept on bringing up through the story. In class on Tuesday we did an assignment called Lectio Divina. Some of you might heard of this and some might not. The whole point was to practice of approaching a text in different ways, reading text recursively, meditatively and reflectively. The second part is to make sure your being implicated in what you read, of aiming for it to matter in how you live and who you are after words.
The first part was Lectio (Listening to the words). As I was listening to the story the first time I tried to grasp everything that was important in the story. Even though I read the story before I got to class, I heard something new when he was reading it. "He who has to fill it, this instrument, with the breath of life of his own". "He has to make it do what he wants it to do". These two statement that really stuck out to me when i first read it.
The second part is Meditatio (Reflecting on the word). Those quotes I gave you from the last passage really opened my eyes. I think he means the life within who controls what happens around us. Our single breath gave life to the instrument and it came alive. Simply amazing to me.
The third part in this exercise was Oratio (Responding to the word). As we read the story again my thoughts of the story is that He's relating life to music. Life is like a melody that we bring to this world.
The final step was Contemplatio (Resting in the word). This part we are simply to rest in the spirit. This part was really weird to me. It hard to rest in the spirit of book that is called a literature experience. Someone in class stated that it would be easier if we did it over the book of Joel, simply because when we meditate on the scripture we have an image of God. I totally agree with that statement. When we do it on a book that not about God, what are we suppose to picture? The author who wrote the book?
