Genesis Of A Genius

Dear One,

It was a bright sunny day for him and a dark moonless night for her.

He was an old man and she was just a little girl. They were complete strangers, yet the hands of fate were to tie them together for a greater purpose.

One fine day, the man was walking along with his friend in a narrow alley. A little girl was playing blissfully with her doll, unaware of the world and it's passerby. The man stopped for a while to see the child playing merrily. His heart swelled with filial affection. On closer look, he realized that the girl was blind.

He stepped closer and whispered to the girl, "Don't you miss the beauty of this vast creation?"

The girl gently replied, "I don't. I may not see it, but I can feel it in my soul". The man couldn't respond, as he was stone deaf.

He then asked her, "What is the most beautiful thing you ever dreamt of seeing?"

"The symphony of the moonlight on a cloudless night" said the little girl. He read her lips through his experienced eyes.

Then and there he composed a melody for that little girl and for the rest of the world to cherish. And when he played it for the girl in his grand old piano, the girl was simply transfixed in a heavenly trance, with streams of joyful tears flowing down her sightless yet grateful eyes. She saw the beauty of the moonlight through his eyes and he listened to the soulful music through her ears.

The man was Lugwig van Beethoven and the symphony he created for the blind girl was 'The Moonlight Sonata'.

Passion is the genesis of a genius.
