My childhood and adolescence were a happy outpouring of energy . School was only a background to the extreme 41 of lessons in music and dance. Then one night at a high school dance, a remark, not 42 for my ears, stabbed my youthful happiness: "That girl, what a 43 she is blind." Blind! That ugly word 44 everything dark, blank, and helpless. Quickly I turned and called out, “Please don't feel sorry for me, I'm having lots of fun”. 45 the fun was not to last. With the coming of college, I had to earn a living. Part-time teaching of piano 46 only half sources of livelihood(生计). In terms of time and effort involved, the 47 financial payback made me depressed. How 48 I was for my piano, where—through Chopin, Brahms, and Beethoven—I could lessen my 49 in the beauty of their pieces.
Then one day, I met a wonderful army nurse, whose faith was to 50 my whole life. As our acquaintance(交情) 51 to friendship, she realized, 52 a shell of joy, my depression. She said, “Stop knocking on closed doors. 53 your beautiful music. I know your opportunity will come. Have you 54 tried praying(祷告)?” I followed her advice. Self-consciously, I developed the daily 55 of prayer. I said: “God, show me the 56 for which you sent me to this world. Help me to be useful to myself and to humanity”. In the years to follow, the answers began to 57 , clear and satisfying beyond my most optimistic 58 . They are the never-ending sources of pleasure and comfort I have found in friendship, in great music, and, most important of all, in my growing 59 that as I am used to prayer, I draw 60 to God and, through Him, to immortality(永恒).
