Colloquium

“My par­ents sur­vived the Depres­sion,” she explains. “They lived in fear of los­ing every­thing and return­ing to their mea­ger begin­nings — and that fear drove their decision-making.” One of those deci­sions drove a lit­tle girl’s dream of play­ing the flute into the back­ground of life’s bare neces­si­ties, only to emerge again nearly forty years later with a clearer under­stand­ing of her parent’s cir­cum­stances. Read how her grown-up dis­cov­er­ies set­tled a score which began long ago and ended with a choice to fol­low her dream. This ten­der account­ing of a daughter’s love for her par­ents and the deep appre­ci­a­tion she gained after they were gone is a trib­ute to a life­long self­less sac­ri­fice. Would you have done the same?

And about that flute. You’re invited to watch the flautist per­form via video at the end of this out­stand­ing post. It is well worth a lis­ten. Con­grat­u­la­tions, Col­lo­quium. The Ris­ing Blog­ger thinks your music says it all.
