A different shade of WHTE
Monday
Niccolo Paganini, a colourful and gifted violinist of the nineteenth-century
was standing
before a packed house, playing through a difficult piece of music.
A full orchestra surrounded him with full support.
Suddenly, one string on his violin snapped and hung gloriously down from his
instrument.
Beads of perspiration popped out of his forehead.
He frowned but continued to play, improvising beautifully.
To the conductor's surprise, a second string broke.
And shortly after, a third.
Now there were three limp strings dangling from Paganini's violin as the
master performer completed the difficult composition on the remaining one
string.
The audience jumped to its feet and in good Italian fashion filled the hall
with shouts of "Bravo! Bravo!"
As the applause died down, the violinist asked the people to sit back down.
Even though they knew there was no way they could expect an encore, they
quietly sank back to their seats.
He held the violin up high for every one to see.
He nodded at the conductor to begin the encore and then turned back to the
crowd.
With a twinkle in his eye, he smiled and shouted, "Paganini and one string!"
After that he placed the single-string Stradivarius beneath his chin and
played the final piece on one string as the audience shook their heads in
silent amazement.
Our life may very well be filled with troubles, worries, disappointments and
what not.
Frankly, we spend most of the time concentrating and fretting over
the strings that snap, dangle and pop - the things that can't be changed!
Are you still agonizing over your snapped strings in life?
Is the one string that you are left with being played out of tune?
If so, may I encourage you to look not back, press on, and start playing the
single string again.
Let it yield a sweet,winesome melody that the world needs so desperately.
You can if you will.
