I am taking harp lessons online. I attempted to learn the harp thirty years ago for a very brief period, so must treat this experience as a beginner. The adventure is becoming quite addictive. Oh, regrets that I did not "stick with it." Phooey on regrets! The experience is now!
I am choosing to spend my final years progressing with harp technique and simple songs.
Dear God ……
bless this harp as it vibrates its strings
sometimes right sometimes wrong
bless this metronome as it tick tocks
sometimes fast most times adagio
bless this tuner tucked in my phone
as strings are slightly turned
seeking the unattainable perfect pitch
bless these fingers aching from
arthritis or gardening or harp technique
bless alice with whom i connect
online each week
bless the laptop adjusting the camera
as she views misshapen hands
bless this harp as it brings
each note
each chord
each phrase
each song
to glorify Him!!
(This blessing is a result of my online class with Abbey of the Arts. Today's assignment is "Writing a Blessing for Beginning Creative Work." The class follows Christine Valters Painter's book, The Artist's Rule.)
