“And if God is just a song?”

In the late 1990s two books came out authored by Mary Doria Russell.  The first was called THE SPARROW and the second, a sequel, THE CHILDREN OF GOD.  The premise on these two novels was roughly this:  In exploration of the continents on earth the Jesuits were often among the first to follow the conquerors with the intention of converting the conquered people to Christianity.  What if this continued with space exploration?  Both stories are allegories about the cruelty of one being to another and the redemption of such acts.   In THE CHILDREN OF GOD on the discovered planet a child, Isaac, is born who is a music savant.  He believes his music is proof of God.  Often books have a few short sentences that are so beautiful and profound and contain so much insight:
“Go back down the mountain, my heart,” Suukmel advised serenely.  “Listen to Isaac’s music again.  Remember what you thought when you first heard it.  Know that if we are children of one God, we can make ourselves one family in time.”
“And if God is just a song?”  Ha’anala asked, alone and frightened.
Suukmel did not answer for awhile.  Finally she said, “Our task is the same.”
