In guiding hands

A bow, put straight

Across four strings

Young fingers firm

Yet arched to move

And form new shapes

That create

And make

Sweet cello music.

This poem was inspired by Morag Northey, cello performer and teacher extraordinaire, celebrating her mid century birthday at the Paul Van Ginkel Art Gallery in Calgary tonight. Thank you for sharing your huge creative spirit with your students including our daughter, Jennifer.

Hands are your hands. Hands in yours!
