Music dances across the page

Your hands glide through the air






And then




The one

Your hands are paralyzed



















Silence…


Is the swelling fermata












But realize…

And remember…

Fermatas last only as long

As you wish them

And don’t let something as simple

As a wrong note

Keep you from conducting

Your own symphony of life
