An Instrument of the Heart

When Hans Öqvist bought a beat-up violin in a thrift store in Uppsala, Sweden, he discovered a name etched in the instrument's surface: Hakon Lundström. After searching public records, he learned that the violin had belonged to Lundström, a Swedish journalist, in 1881. He located Lundstrom’s great-granddaughter and is looking forward to reuniting the violin with Lundström's family.
“Each of us leaves a legacy. What we have been will be stamped on the hearts of those who survive us for years to come. What are we leaving behind?”

Affirmative prayer: Infinite Presence, I touch the lives of the people in my orbit and those who follow after me. I share my treasure, good works, and prayers with kindred spirits, and I devote the music of my life to the great chorus of all beloved souls. Thank you, God, forever. Amen.
