David, who knew more about the harp <br />that my late mother knew about the carp <br />which she would use make gefilte fish <br />declared about the violin: “I wish <br />with it to solve my regal riddle, ” <br />because the rationale of every fiddle <br />is making a conjunction of the hand <br />that presses strings with one which must softland <br />upon them, gently holding horsehaired bow. <br />With both in sync the player comes to know <br />his soul, because his music has the might <br />to balance what is left with what is right. <br /> <br />Inspired by Psalm 49, read at the mourner’s service for Mike Robyn as at all mourner’s service: <br /> <br />Sons of Adam and sons of man alike: rich and poor י ח ד , together. <br />My mouth will speak wisdom and the meditations of my heart are insightful. <br />I will incline my ear to the parable; with a stringed instrument I will solve ח י ד ת י , my riddle. (Ps.49: 3–5) <br /> <br />While reading this I notice that י ח ד , together (Ps.49: 3) , resonates anagrammatically with ח י ד ת י , my riddle (Ps.49: 5) . The link between the two words implies that the solving of the Psalmist’s riddle depends on establishing a state of י ח ד , the togetherness not only of rich and poor but of heart and ear. <br /> <br />1/29/10<br /><br />gershon hepner<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/solving-my-riddle-with-a-fiddle/
