When I was young, I loved watching my grandfather play piano. It was jazzy, effervescent, full of soul. My grandma would stand next to him and sing in her beautiful operatic voice and together their spectacle made an indelible imprint on me. Music has been passed down in my family for generations back to a great great grandfather who was a professor of music in Berlin and beyond.
I am hardly a pianist, but I love to improvise on the piano. It reminds me of my grandparents, and I imagine them sending me hugs and blessings as they listen from heaven. I imagine my grandfather guiding my hands, my grandmother my voice.
In this time where the veil has thinned, may we remember the loved ones who have shaped us. They have given us more than just ancersteal traumas to heal- they have bestowed us with tremendous strengths and gifts.
Which loved ones have shaped your life? Imagine just how proud of you they are as they walk along beside you 🩷
