PSALM 16:11
You will show me the way of life,
granting me the joy of your presence
and the pleasures of living with you forever.
After breaking a string on his violin,
and finishing his concert with
3 strings rather than 4,
a violinist
is quoted as saying,
"You know, sometimes
it's the artist's task
to find out how much music
you can still make
with what you have left."
Perhaps that is the
~way of life~
not just for artists,
but for all of us-- to make music,
at first with all that we have,
and when that's no longer possible, make music with what we have left.
