"It ain't what you don't know that gets you into trouble. It's what you know for sure that just ain't so." - Mark Twain

| Itzhak Perlman |
Every music maestro knows it is impossible to play a symphony with just
three strings. Itzhak Perlman refused to know so. You could see him
modulating, changing, re-composing the piece in his head. When he
finished, there was an awesome silence in the room. Then everyone rose
in an extraordinary outburst of applause, from every corner of the
auditorium. People on their feet, screaming and cheering. Perlman
smiled, raised his bow to quieten them, and in all modesty said, "You
know, sometimes it is the artist’s task to find out how much music you
can still make with what you have left."
What do you have left,
from the rubble of life? Have you lost a string, or more? Itzhak
Perlman made music with three strings: the outcome was awesome. God will
always leave you with something to play with. Don't allow your
knowledge, or belief limit you.
