A couple of years ago, I went to a lady's house to buy some vitamins. Upon entering the house, I
16 that there was an electronic keyboard on a stand, leaning
17 the wall. Being a piano music lover and
18 , I asked if the woman played. She nodded and added that she had been
19 lessons--at age 54! I told her that it was very
20 that she was pursuing (追求) her
21 to play the piano.
Then she asked me the same question.
"I have been playing for 8 years now," I answered.
"Then you must play a song for me before you leave," she requested.
I
22 she was kidding and I simply smiled. At the end of the
23 of the vitamins, she
24 me of our musical "
25 ". She then showed me to an old upright piano in the living room and asked me to play a song for her. I thought
26 and decided to play David Lanz's "Return to the Heart", since she had so much passion for
27 , and it was my soul-searching song.
I played the song to the best of my
28 , and with my emotions pouring into it as possible. She loved it.
29 I was about to step out of the door, I heard a weak voice calling out, "Young man!"
I turned around. And there was an old lady
30 one little step at a time with the help of another woman. "I wanted to come out to
31 you for the beautiful song that you played. I have been very sick, and it's very hard for me to
32 my bed, but I really wanted to thank you for the song. It made me feel good..." she said. With that, she turned around and walked
33 back to her room.
I was deeply touched by her
34 and felt a deeper understanding for the song. It served its purpose beautifully, returning to one's
35 for peace and joy.
