the story is moving but deceiving, that kind of music is an acquired taste, and even if you put a sampling of the mass of humanity into La Scala to hear him play, most will be utterly bored and earn to escape home to listen to folk or popular music. It is an acquired taste and cannot be immediately appreciated without training in all cases.

Thanks Barrie. I enjoyed the post very much. It’s my first time here and it makes me believe that your free book that I have just downloaded will be just as great. Best wishes

1. A baby’s smile
2. Silence
3. Laughter
4. Sunsets
5. Sunrise
6. Rain
7. Friends who call you for no reason
8. Friends who enjoy my early morning voice mail songs
9. A thank you from someone
10. Helping someone without needing thanks
11. Sharing knowledge about something to help someone make a decision
12. Seeing a teenager excel when he/she thought they couldn’t
13. A senior who learns the computer and gets it
14. Trusting without knowing
15. Peace within

Barrie,
I’m just back from a vacation near both the ocean and mountains. So filled with beauty, and being away from home (and from all the normal distractions in life), I let these fully engulf me. So peace-filled, and so, so beautiful.

I loved reading this list you shared, and just letting these thoughts of beauty soak into my soul today.

Much peace,
Lance

ANOTHER great post! I love the anthropological study with Joshua Bell and his Stradivarius. It got me to pay more attention to what’s happening around me. I live on the Northern CA coast with a view of the ocean. We chose to move here a year ago with the sole intention of experiencing the beauty of the sea. It was a big sacrifice in many ways but it has been good for my soul. I have always been blessed to live surrounded by beauty but the most beautiful things in my life are my son and my husband. My son is a teenager now and I hear so many negative things said about teens. We had dinner together tonight; he’s been gone on vacation with his dad for 3 weeks. As we ate and chatted, I soaked in his beautiful face, his easy smile, and his generous nature. Our children mark time, they grow so quickly. When my son was born I vowed that I would cherish every moment with him as if it were the last. My husband and I always kiss each other good morning, goodbye, and greet each other with an embrace and a kiss. We all tell each other, ‘I love you’ whenever we part or end a phone conversation. This is beauty to me.

Barrie, I know this story about the famous violinist and there is no way I would not have stopped to listen. I stop at the sound of violin every where I travel - and to hear a professional play - how is it possible not to slow down/ I have seen the video of this too and I am sure you can see it in YouTube! Thank you for this! .-= Farnoosh´s last blog ..Beyond the First 30 Days- Staying Committed to Habits =-.
