Lent 2 - 02/28/2010 - Ps. 27; Philippians 3:17-4:1; Luke 13:31-35

Written by The Reverend Lyndon C. Shakespeare
Lent 2 Ps. 27; Philippians 3:17-4:1; Luke 13:31-35 The Lord is my light and my help; whom should I fear? The Lord is the stronghold of my life, whom should I dread? ²When evil men assail me ^a-to devour my flesh^-a— it is they, my foes and my enemies, who stumble and fall. ³Should an army besiege me, my heart would have no fear; should war beset me, still would I be confident. Psalm 27:1-3 (The Tanakh) “What could a man possibly hope to accomplish by playing music in the street? It wouldn’t bring anyone back from the dead, wouldn’t feed anyone, wouldn’t replace one brick. It was a foolish gesture . . . a pointless exercise in futility”[1]. Watching the unnamed cellist arrange his seat and prepare for another performance was Kenen, one of the protagonists in Steven Galloway’s novel, The Cellist of Sarajevo, set during the siege of Sarajevo in 1992. Days before, a Serbian mortar shell had drifted into the besieged city and landed amongst twenty two hungry citizens. In place of the bread they so desperately desired, the ‘visible world exploded’, and little was left except an empty crater. What could be done in the face of such destruction? The cellist chose to perform, placing his body and cello within the crater where lives had been extinguished. For twenty-two days, one day for each of the dead, he played Albinoni’s Adagio, a composition the remnants of which were discovered in the firebombed music library of Dresden in 1945. Amidst besiege and war, fear and confidence found a home in the stirring beauty of human courage set to music.
