A couple of years ago, I went to a lady’s house to buy some vitamins. Upon entering the house, I
36 that there was an electronic keyboard on a stand, leaning
37 the wall. Being a piano music lover and
38 , I asked, if the woman played. She nodded and added that she had been
39 lessons at age 54! I told her that it was very
40 that she was pursuing （追求） her passion（热情）to play the piano. . .
Then she asked me
41 question. “I have been playing for 8 years now,” I answered.
“Then you must play a song for me before you leave,” she
42 .I thought she was joking and I simply smiled. At the end of the deal of the vitamins, she
43 me of our musical “
44 _”. She then showed me to an old upright piano in the living room,
45 asked me to play a song for her. I thought
46 and decided to play David Lantz’s “Return to the Heart”, since
she had so much passion for
47 ,and it was my soul-searching song.
I played the song to the best of my ability, and with my emotions
48 into it as possible. She loved it.
49 I was about to step out of the door, I heard a weak voice ca
lling out, “Young man!”
I turned around. And there was an old lady
50 one little ste
p at a time with the help of another woman. “I wanted to come out to
51 you for the beautiful song that you played. I have been very sick, and it’s very hard for me to
52 my bed, but your music made me feel good ”she said. With that, she turned around and walked
53 back to her room.
I was deeply
54 by her appreciation and felt a deeper understanding for the song. It served its purpose beautifully, returning to one’s
55 for peace and joy.
