Just what I needed this morning as I try to sort out some problems for my mother, who will be 80 next year.
I've thought for a long time that people were created because they could make music.
This is so moving and inspiring and powerful - what a marvellous person she is. I fervently hope I will have the same spirit when I get to 106, or 107 or 108.
In the Iliad, she is described as the loveliest of the daughters of Priam (King of Troy), and gifted with prophecy. The god Apollo loved her, but she spurned him. As a punishment, he decreed that no one would ever believe her. So when she told her fellow Trojans that the Greeks were hiding inside the wooden horse...well, you know what happened.
What a wonderful (and inspiring) and touching video. Thanks for this link, Beth! It's balm to the soul.
