Wise Word Wednesday!

      Quite often I find myself coming across words that reach into my heart and speak.  They are eloquent in a way that I am not gifted to express myself.  They cause me to ponder things deeply for a bit, interrupting the hustle and bustle of my day and my thoughts.
      This particular quote is something I came across in one of my journals, something I copied down over a year ago.  Mmmmm, it's good!

“When any man holds ‘twixt chin and hand a violin of mine, he will be glad Stradivari lived, made violins and made them of the best. If my hand slacked I should rob God, since he is the fullest good, but he could not make Antonio Stradivari’s violins without Antonio.” – Antonio Stradivari
