Living Arrows 16/52 – Music

Kahlil Gibran, “You are the bows from which your children as living arrows are sent forth”

I really love joining in this linkie,  which is inspired by the above quote. it gives me the opportunity to look back on our week. Slowly, little by little we are adjusting to this very strange norm. We are all well which will always be the overriding objective but this was a tough week in out house. My 7 year old is really missing his school mates and grandparents but interestingly has found solace in his music.

He has been learning piano with the most amazing teacher for a year now but this week something clicked. I didn’t nag him to practice, he played away himself.  I can’t explain how this makes my heart happy. To see him take comfort and loose himself in his music is magical.

Hopefully next week is a step closer to normality.

Stay safe and follow the advice.

“Music gives a soul to the universe, wings to the mind, flight to the imagination and life to everything.” – Plato

    It’s so nice when they’re learning something and it just clicks. I bet that was amazing to watch! x

    Oh bless him – my husband plays piano and is trying to encourage our boys to learn but neither of them are very interested yet 🙂

    Its lovely when it all seems to just come together. I tried learning the keyboard and got as far as the Jurassic Park theme tune but still couldn’t tell you what keys they were!
