Several years ago dear friends gave us a set of Corinthian Bells for Christmas. I've always enjoyed the sound of wind chimes in my yard, but it was immediately obvious as I unwrapped the box, that these bells were no ordinary wind chimes. The first obvious difference is that they are extremely heavy, I used a chain to hang them from a sturdy branch in my oak tree. They are also tuned, which means each tube is a note in the key of C major.
In spite of their weight, even a light breeze catches the paddle resulting in a quiet melody that hums throughout the front gardens. On windier days, the bells ring out in a glorious chorus. During this time of year, when my windows are open, the symphony can be heard easily indoors, as well as out.
This is my never-ending symphony, orchestrated by God himself.
