She’s 13-years-old. She stands on the stage and starts playing her trumpet. The audience stills. Time stops.
And all is well
I’ve had the thought that consciousness shows up two ways in my life:
The first I call number one – daily tasks; conversations about the weather, politics or sports; the dimmer switch on my lamp is on.
The second is number two – eyes wide open, stunned by the beauty of another soul, a sunset, a song. So bright!
The girl gave me number two. She caressed the melody with her instrument. Audience members and musicians in the orchestra just sat there, letting the waves of softness waft over them.
And then … the high note. I was transported.
Please listen …

good morning! I.love this thought! I was at Wolfe Performance hall on Saturday evening for a show with The Pairs and John Muirhead. It was brilliant. Renee said a couple of times how much she appreciated our attentive listening and also that we waited to clap for a few more seconds, to let the song down it was quite beautiful in her telling! They are such lovely ladies!
So delightfully subtle of Renée.
The three ladies are just so very delightful! It was lovely to hear them again. I have not been attending nearly as many shows this last few months!
Perhaps The Pairs will be in concert when I’m in London in April.
