Lifetimes
My piano is dying. Like everything else on earth, it has a short future. Fifty-six years of sandstorms and desert conditions have dried out the wood, so that the tuning pegs are loose and will never hold the strings tight for long.
We all have a limited lifespan in this old world. Even the world is wearing out and will someday cease to exist. If we use well the time that we're allowed to live here, our eternal souls can eventually share a much better place with the Creator of all. Trying to adapt to worldly conditions is as futile as pouring water on the piano's wood in order to tighten its hold on the pegs.
This instrument has been in the Trent family all its life, and is pretty special to me. I plan to get as much music from it as possible for as long as possible, then move on to better things, with no regrets.
