Lately Richard and I have noticed God showing us something, pointing us to something that I cannot ignore or brush off as coincidence. There have been signs in the last few weeks that it's time to begin a music education program for Elliot with professional instruction. While I have been working like mad on two big school musical productions, (105 pieces in 15 days!!!) we recently met a wonderful friend who speaks fluent German, teaches piano, and lives within biking distance. Last night, we discovered that a new sitter we interviewed is a music teacher pursuing a PhD in education. Elliot has been taking some preliminary online piano lessons and is picking up some songs very quickly. So we are inspired to give structure, purpose and some investment into opening up this path.
Today I'm dedicating this song by James Taylor to my artist-ninja boy-musician in the making-lego building-wilderness biologist-philanthropist son. Music has a healing, comforting power, which is necessary for life.
Welcome to the human race.
Music IS healing, and what a wonderful path for Elliot to move into.
ReplyDeleteThe only way to drive out evil is with even greater good, and Elliot is already providing so much of that, as are you and Richard.
So glad you have completed that huge project- but I think lots more are coming your way!
Hi Jenny. That was a huge task you took on with all those musical productions. Quite an achievement. Music certainly is healing my friend, and I have always loved James Taylor. I am sure that your special little boy will get great pleasure out of making music. Shelly is quite right that we must drive out evil with more love, goodness and kindness . Sending blessings to you and your lovely little family.
