I am extremely tired and I just want to do a quick note before I forget everything.
The friends that I used to meet in Heidelberg were busy or away on this weekend, which made my Heidelberg weekend looked a bit pale. But, an oversea good friend is in town. It was so good to have her, we went to our favourite falafel restaurant in Heidelberg.
So why am I in Heidelberg?
As we were happily enjoying our falafel, another friend walked by: “Hey, are you coming to the concert tonight?” Next to him, was the organist that I know from Youtube, Spotify and Wikipedia. I was in St. Sulpice Paris for a Sunday worship service, but it was long time ago that I cannot remember the music anymore. Anyway, the St. Sulpice organist has given a brilliant concert in Heidelberg yesterday and this is the reason I am in Heidelberg.
“Yeah, of course, that’s why we are here!” I answered.
Other than the concert, I am here also because of work. I had a rehearsal this morning and tomorrow morning I have to accompany a choir on piano in a worship service in Heidelberg. Afternoon, after my private practice session I needed food and I went to Heidelberg old town. After food, I had a little me time strolling in Heidelberg old town and recollecting memories. For example, the first time I heard the concert.
Since the concert, my life and the world has changed a lot. I am no more an employed church musician, also that time we did not know about COVID and the war in Ukraine yet. No matter how things are changing, I am so lucky to be able to come back to the concert constantly, even during the lockdown season.
After the food and the stroll, I’m back to my room. I am thankful for the temporary room. As I do not want to be late for tomorrow morning worship service. So good night!
