Taps

by Deborah Globus

I heard a very sweet news story recently.  There’s a man (didn’t even catch where) that every evening at sundown goes out on the balcony of his apartment and plays Taps.

That’s not even the best part: as soon as his neighbors hear the first few notes they also go out and stand at attention until the last note dies away.

Taps is a hauntingly beautiful piece of music (24 notes) and what a gorgeous way to be called back to yourself once a day.  

A reminder to be mindful…
