Have patience with everything unresolved in your heart and to try to love the questions themselves as if they were locked rooms or books written in a very foreign language. Don’t search for the answers, which could not be given to you now, because you would not be able to live them. And the point is, to live everything. Live the questions now. Perhaps then, someday far in the future, you will gradually, without even noticing it, live your way into the answer. —Rainer Maria Rilke

OMG that means the only music there will be John Cage and Philip Glass...
So conflicted now.
Revelation implies that somehow, there will still be music. I have to cling to that and file the dilemma under "conundrums I won't solve in this lifetime."
I suppose I could take the question way too seriously and bluff some discussion of chronos and kairos, and then get all "define your terms!" and be all uppity until someone who has more background on this than one Philosophy of Religion class and an affection for L'Egle's fiction calls my bluff. [I imagine this person would be able to construct intelligible sentence as well - how I writhe in jealousy on this scatterbrained Friday!]
As it is, I'll second Dave's comment on the minimalists - Koyaanisqatsi in heaven? My theology is breaking down...

Hi, I've been lurking here for awhile and just had to say something about your question--hilarious!
I'm going to mention you in my next post on my blog.
Thanks for the laugh of the day.
Ask Madeleine L'Engle. She is who I go to for questions like that.
Not that she'd give you an answer but she'd give a pretty remarkable and beautiful response nonetheless.
---From a Fuller student who heard about your blog from someone back in Indiana...very random, I know.
Time is the ordered sequence of events. (The order is from cause to effect) No time equals "nothin happening".... ergo classical music. Simple really.
