Our Anchor

Hi Folks,

In case you are wondering what this is, it is a macro photo of my E string on the guitar – the first string from the thicker side- wrapped around its peg. Taken with a 28mm reversed lens on my Nikon. 

Some thoughts:

All of us need an anchor. That picture is of the E string wrapped around the tuning peg. From a Christian point of view, Jesus is out anchor. We are locked in into him. When we drift away, we lose our moorings.  That’s what happens when the string breaks – it loses its anchor with the peg.

All of us need to be stretched. A beautiful string inside its cover makes no sound.  But stretch it  out and you get that beautiful warm 83Hz coming out of the guitar. Stretch it below par, it is off tune. Stretch it too much, it breaks. That’s why we need to take a ‘break’ when we are too stretched out.

And most importantly, we need to be played on! No point keeping a Yamaha in its cover. In the hands of a guitarist, it makes such wonderful music.

Care to add your observations?
