The Old Violin


Yesterday evening we visited a local village church, not for a service but a musical recital. The church was packed even the choir stalls were full. The concert was a musical recital by 2 promising young musicians, both young women who both looked amazing and played music as if they were one and the same as the music. The notes floated from their souls to fill the lovely church with amazing energy and the sounds of the angels.


I though could see many angels filling the rafters. The angels love beautiful music and surround those who make such wonderful music when it can make the heart sing and the soul rise to the heavens. Among the angels I saw was Gabriel. He is the homecomimg angel to help us in reconnecting with who we really are. I wondered why I was aware of his presence but I soon understood.


As the violinist played and her violin sang with life I could glimpse her playing as a young male violinist dressed from hundreds of years ago. Then I suddenly knew that she had lived before as a famous violinist but more than that she played the same violin. The original violin was made in 1596 and is now priceless but this incredibly talented woman had been loaned this same violin. There was no way she could ever afford it but the universe sometimes has ways of surprising us. Over 500 years later, thousands of miles from its origin the violin was returned to its first owner. Magic happens far more often than we realise.
