A Tear

 

Dear friends of piano music,

„but Mr. Mussorgsky“, I thought at first, „why only one tear?“ On what occasion do you cry only one tear? But gradually I came up with examples - like this photo. A smashed tombstone, which is actually a monument to grieving memories of one or more people. But after the first tear dried, I noticed the bizarre beauty of this monumental puzzle.

After a certain time, there is simply no one left who needs the tombstone as a symbol of his grief, life goes on.

We are here at the Heidelberg Bergfriedhof (mountain cemetary). Since playgrounds and green areas have been closed, I've been here with my children more often. The cemetery as the only change from the children's room at home - we have another reason to shed a tear. But we have to be thankful that we are allowed to go outside at all.

If you like, we can make a list together with reasons to shed a single tear. Today, for the first time, there is an interactive 360-degree video in which you can explore the cemetery by scrolling.

Greetings from Heidelberg! Stay healthy! Kerstin
