Musical Interlude from the Madness: Zimerman plays Chopin




St. Teresa of Avila told us - and warned us: 


Let nothing disturb you,

Let nothing frighten you,

All things are passing;

God only is changeless.

Patience gains all things.

Who has God wants nothing.

God alone suffices.

God, is the creator and source of beauty, of which music, is perhaps the greatest gift to humanity. Let us turn away from the evils of the day, the noise offered by the Devil, and turn to music - let us listen to Zimerman play Chopin's 1st Ballade in G Minor. I for one, will strive to focus on God, His Mother, the saints, and striving to be a better Christian. God bless you all for the weekend.
