How inspiring! I love the video of his music and your message–that sense of expectation where everything seems possible in our He(art).

In reply to Sheryl.

Welcome, Sheryl! Thanks for stopping by.
It’s encouraging to know my sometimes obscure analogies are seen by others.

I liked the analogy between guitar strings well strung and life.

In reply to Ally Bean. In tending to the many aspects of one's craft/(he)art there are some tasks more liked than others, but all bring pleasure IMHO.

In reply to Annika Perry.

Annika, your mother was a pioneer herself as one of the few female pro-cgers ‘back in the day’ (I’m guessing the ’70s?). I’d love to learn more about her career path – who she studied with, etc. A colleague of mine who’s a few years younger than myself performed in a masterclass for Segovia in his later years – he was none too easy on female pupils!
Your comments made my day, thank you.

I played violin as a girl and remember re-stringing my instrument. It was challenging, but kind of fun as I recall. There was something empowering about starting over, all fresh and new.

Laura, a gift of a post, reaching us on so many levels! First, I wish you richness of tones and ease in your fingers with the new strings! I loved learning about the guitar strings and as my mother was a professional classical guitarist before I was born and when I was young, I grew up around guitars, their strings. She saw Segovia play a few times and as I result I revere him, his playing. She mentioned his hands too … and his amazing music. Once he made a false start, stopped, laughed lightly and calmly and said it happens to everyone before starting again!
Finally, a beautiful end to your post — ‘And when the right strings are strung, life is magical’.
May we all find that magic this year! Xx

That latent potential before the string is plucked.
