Me and my Piano

I just spent a few hours with Franz Mohr. He tuned my 1929 Steinway piano. He told me that my piano is an exceptionally good Steinway, ( I have always felt that way about it)! Franz is the best Steinway master piano technician in the world. He was Vladamir Horowitz's personal piano tuner for all his concerts and recordings for 25 years. He began at Steinway by assisting William Hupfer, who was a master technician at Steinway and traveled with pianists as Rachmaninoff.
My piano has never sounded more beautiful, it's like it is bathed in this incredible frequency. I have been playing it non stop and although I am playing the same notes, it sounds so different. It is so soulful and pure and full of depth and longing and beauty. Finally it is able to be what it can be.
How often in life do we play the right notes, but if we are out of tune, the music is not the same?
Franz is going to come back again this coming winter and work on the hammers and some other things on my piano. There are still a few clicking sounds that need to be fixed.
It makes me think of my healing. I have been slammed with major lyme symptoms these past few days and am starting another brief round of antibiotics. I also continue to do many natural and alternative things to help me cure this awful disease. I feel shaky and weak, heart racing, dizzy. Yesterday I had fevers and numbness and extreme fatigue and the most crushing headache I have ever had in my life.
In my healing, I have been playing the right notes. Doing great treatments. But it's as if the frequency is stuck in a mode where the piano keeps slipping out of tune. I have worked with many healers on my journey. Some leave me irritated and agitated, like the last guy who tuned my piano and didn't quite get it right. My piano was SO unhappy after he left.
Working with Franz is like working with a master healer. On the journey of healing myself, I am working on finding the right thing to re tune me, re boot me, so that I can sing again.
In the next few months, I am trying some new things to help re train my cells so to speak. I know healing is possible. The music is in me!
My piano feels like it is bursting with happiness. "Finally," it says! Now when I play it, it can be what it was born to be. I feel like I am flying- with each note I am expressing everything that is beyond words.
