11 Tons
It requires 11 tons of pressure on the strings of a piano for it to be properly tuned. To sound exactly how it is supposed to.
To be restored to itself.
The pitch of a piano raises in the summer due to humidity and drops in the winter as it dries out. Every year the pitch drops more than it is raised. If the piano has been badly neglected, far more time and care is needed to restore it's perfect pitch.
Our lives are no different.
As the years weather our souls, far too often, it is only through great tension and struggle that we are returned to who we were intended to be.
Like a piano, we were created to make beautiful music. Perhaps the pressures in life that we feel are actually being used to tune us into something perfect. To push us until something beautiful, artistic and creative, that has never been created before, comes forth.
