An old and damaged violin is put up for auction. The auctioneer presents it to the public and announces: \u201chow much for this?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cOne dollar, one dollar,
Two dollars there, two dollars\u2026
Who can top that? Three dollars…
Three dollars, going once, going twice\u2026
Who\u2019ll have it for three dollars!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But just then a grey-haired old man came up, took the violin, dusted it off and tightened the strings. He began playing a gentle melody that clearly moved the audience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The music gave way to silence and the auctioneer started up the bidding again:
\u201cHow much now?
A thousand dollars. Who can top that?
Two thousand, two thousand dollars.
Three thousand over here.
Three thousand, going once, three thousand, going twice. Sold!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Applause rang out around the room but some people were wondering:  \u201cWhat exactly happened there? How could the value of the violin have changed so much?\u201d  At that point, someone shouted out: \u201cIt\u2019s the master\u2019s touch!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A lot of people are damaged, out of tune, disfigured and play the wrong notes. Others judge them, they feel lost, they feel worthless in their own and others\u2019 eyes until the master touches them. Who can you touch?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
