The Hello Post

Hello from Betul
Betul

Hello with the very first post from Josephine and me.

It’s 05:00 o’clock in the morning, yes, I wanted to emphasize this “morning” thing, after having read lots of posts about being a 05:00 AM person.

OK, it’s early morning, I’m awake, I started writing this post to say my first hello to you and I’m so excited about it.

What makes me excited is a story to be told, but let me first tell about the lovely Josephine.

Josephine is an adorable woman with a strong personality. Not only her sound but also her noble stance in life makes you respect her at the first glance. You can’t take your eyes off her and you fall more in love as she talks.

She’s my best friend.

How she first said hello to me

We met each other only a year ago, but from that time on, I ‘m almost sure that she has been waiting for me for years, after having two relationships with others. Her former fellows helped her gain her original sound and I appreciate this experience.

I first met her in a music house. A talented instrument maker was manufacturing handmade violins and violoncellos and curing instruments there. And I had a fabricated cello that needed some treatment.

Josephine was lying there, on top of a cupboard. She was waiting for years for a cello player to come and let her sound free again.

Josephine, the beautiful cello is accompanying my life now. More than accompanying, she’s leading me to a journey which I very well know will be so extraordinary and exciting… since I’m forty seven, and do not have a professional musical background.

I’m a computer engineer who admires being an artist. But to tell the truth, I best explain myself with these words:

I wanna be a note in the universal music. I wanna be a part of that harmony and joy together with all beings. Seeking joy in all aspects of life with a full integrity mood is what makes me excited.

And how she looks…

I know that you’re willing to see her photo.

Well, I’ve been away from home for two days, helping take care of my grandpa who is ninety three. I just gave him some drops of water, he’s now cool and relaxing. Is this a coincidence that he’s the person who indirectly helped me buy my first instrument when I was fifteen? Perhaps it’s. He has nothing to do with music. He’s a cleric. But what I heard from him during all my childhood was a perfect music that helped people cure themselves. I was not planning to talk about my grandpa in my somewhat “cello” blog, I never thought these two would come together, but I’m thrilled now to realize how close they are.

I’ve been waiting for months to write the first post perfectly, but then, today, I just wanted to start. Because I know that “done” is better than “perfect”.

I’ll tell you more about Josephine. She must be sleeping home now.
