Old woman on street sits down at piano

Performs beautiful music with arthritic hands. Her thumbs don't work at all; her little fingers barely. She has clubbing of her nail beds and discoloration of her fingertips. what a story she must have.

ahhh...Music.

Transcends all Class, Disabilities, Hatred, Race, Color, Creed, Nations and Borders.

If only we all stopped to listen for a minute...just one minute, we might accidentally discover how in tune with each other we all truly are.

She already knows.

Peace

Beautiful, just beautiful. Thank you for sharing.

That was beautiful. My eyes got wet. I want to give her a hug.

That was just beautiful. I would love to know her story. Is she a forgotten pianist, a teacher or maybe just a lover of beautiful music. I guess we'll never know. Watching her arthritic hands perform was inspiring, makes me feel whimpy for the days that I complain about aches and pains. LOL

Incredibly inspiring. She is a beautiful example of the wonder born of the power of Belief and of Will, colliding. A recipe for success, ageless and timeless!
