Second Favorite Second Cousin

June 18

I love the song of a piano. To me there is such beauty in the simplicity…or complexity, of the music. As I sit here and listen all is right with the world. I think that no matter what I am feeling, listening to this music would somehow calm me.
The piano is magnificence waiting to be played; it is splendor through keys. The melodies that are produced take patience, hard work, and most importantly, loyalty and ardor.
How is it that one individual may be brought so much joy by a singe instrument. It is in this question that I have found true wonder. You see, it is not the piano that brings joy…it is the player; I’m sure at least some of you have had an unpleasant experience with a still developing pianist.
It blows my mind that a person who has a gift and spends time developing said gift can impact me without even knowing me. I have been provided with a peace that is apart from human contact—at least in the physical sense.
Develop your gifts…you may never know how much impact you may have on another individual.
Life is often like that—so many opportunities for exquisiteness just awaiting investment. Amazing. Something happens inside of me when I listen to it…indescribable. Perhaps some of you know what I mean. How is it that one individual may be brought so much joy by a singe instrument. Not just an instrument alone—a person must be using it. In theory then, are we all equipped with a gift? Something that we have passion for and have dedicated our lives to Strengthening?
