Playing from the Heart

I read this cute yet beautiful story while researching for work.

Here is an excerpt of it:

Playing from the Heart
by Peter Reynolds
….....................
......................
A few weeks later a delivery truck pulled up to Raj's home.
It was the piano.

The piano from Raj's father's house.
He sat at the keyboard and let his fingers rest upon the keys.
He felt a peace come over him.
He let his fingers press down
while his foot found the sustain pedal.

The notes lifted up and lingered.
Raj closed his eyes and
let all his feelings rush through him.
He let his fingers roam the ivories.

He was connecting very deeply.
His fingers kept exploring,
rediscovering some of what he had learned years before,?
but also going to a place he knew well as a child.
A place that did not have rules.

The longer he played the more he forgot what he had learned.
But while he let some of the rules fall away,
he brought with him wisdom and emotion from the journey.
He was playing from the heart.

As we go through the journey of life, we learn more and more how to play from our hearts as we did when we were children.
