One qin. And life becomes worth sitting still for.

It won't change your life. You'll still go to work, still fight for what you want, still laugh, still get hurt. But when you sit down and play — even for ten minutes — the noise settles. The feelings pass through the strings instead of through you. And you sleep better that night.
