tingers!

"Have you seen a symphony orchestra?...
There is a chap at the back carrying a triangle.
Now and again the conductor will point at him and he will play "ting."
That might seem so insignificant, but in the conception of the composer,
something irreplaceable would be lost to the total beauty of the symphony
if that "ting" did not happen."

- Desmond Tutu
extract from a sermon, 8/81

blessings be upon all the "tingers" of the world.
we are irreplaceable in our composer's eyes.
and without our contribution the symphony of life
just wouldn't sound right.
