Whisper Teaser Time...

Ready for your Whisper of Light teaser for the weekend? Voila:


"It occurred to me, in those moments when every ounce of self-conscious thought, every insecurity and biological manifestation of fear was gone, that as long as I kept playing, as long as I rested my head on the shoulder of this gift, that I did not dread what Christian thought, what anyone thought. I knew little short of the overflow of feeling between the music and myself. It desired me. It embraced me. It adored me. When it ended, I would be lonely again—but for now…

Back to the grave allegro of Beethovan’s mind I went, back to the reverie of its melancholy and soft, entreating arms. Right now, my soul understood its purpose here. It was content and fulfilled. And as I played, something--and I would contemplate this with much frustration afterward--whispered on the edge of my understanding."
