"Look at Beethoven.
The worse his deafness, the greater his music.
And the best was composed when he was walled into
a silent world.

"Justin might never have started composing
had his hands not been broken
in Auschwitz."
Madeleine L'Engle w/ Carol F. Chase
Glimpses of Grace p. 54
HarperSanFrancisco 1998
How can that be?!
I can't help but think of one of my memory verses: "Truly, truly I say to you, unless a grain of wheat falls into the ground and dies, it remains alone. But if it dies, it bears much fruit." John 12:24 NAS
Both are miracles that we enjoy, but cannot explain.
