  A couple of years ago, I went to a lady’s house to buy some vitamins. Upon entering the house, I   36   that there was an electronic keyboard on a stand, leaning   37   the wall. Being a piano music lover and   38  , I asked if the woman played. She nodded and added that she had been   39   lessons―at age 54! I told her that it was very   40   that she was pursuing(追求) her    41    to play the piano.

  Then she asked me the same question.

  “I have been playing for 8 years now,” I answered.

  “Then you must play a song for me before you leave,” she requested.

  I    42   she was kidding and I simply smiled. At the end of the   43   of the vitamins, she    44    me of our musical “  45  ”. She then showed me to an old upright piano in the living room and asked me to play a song for her. I thought    46    and decided to play David Lanz’s “Return to the Heart”, since she had so much passion for    47   , and it was my soul-searching song.

  I played the song to the best of my    48   , and with my emotions pouring into it as possible. She loved it.    49    I was about to step out of the door, I heard a weak voice calling out, “Young man!”

  I turned around. And there was an old lady    50    one little step at a time with the help of another woman. “I wanted to come out to   51   you for the beautiful song that you played. I have been very sick, and it’s very hard for me to    52    my bed, but I really wanted to thank you for the song. It made me feel good…” she said. With that, she turned around and walked      53    back to her room.

  I was deeply touched by her    54    and felt a deeper understanding for the song. It served its purpose beautifully, returning to one’s    55    for peace and joy.
