Decided to dig out a Bach CD (Bach Violin Concertos, Lara St John) today.
As I was listening to it, it occurred to me that, despite the fact that I never mastered a musical instrument, I have always had a preference for string instruments, in particular the violin, cello and guitar. However, piano was and is still too ‘sharp’ for me.
Has your music been heard?
“A bell is no bell ’til you ring it,
A song is no song ’til you sing it,
And love in your heart
Wasn’t put there to stay –
Love isn’t love
‘Til you give it away.”
“Faith is the confidence that
what we hope for will actually happen;
it gives us assurance about things we cannot see.”Bible, Hebrews 11:1.
It’s always exhilarating to find something that you thought that you’d lost forever: the feeling of loss wiped away with the joy of rediscovered feelings.
It’s equally, if not more so, when it comes to people. Friendships rekindled, and broken ties that get mended.
Finally, perhaps dreams of many, it is a true miracle to rediscover one’s youthful self. One that got buried and discarded as one moves through the trials of life.
Changes are inevitable. Fortunate are those who have the opportunity to effect the changes…
