A 23-year-old woman named Clara had been singing on the Münsterbrücke in Zürich for two years — Tuesday and Thursday mornings, Saturday afternoons, her open instrument case at her feet. Most people walked past. On the mornings when she didn't know why she kept going, she played Tina Turner's music.
One night, she wrote a letter. She didn't expect anyone to read it. She included the name of the bridge — the Münsterbrücke — because the letter was about a real place, and the truth required it.
Tina Turner read the letter on Tuesday. She walked to the bridge on Thursday. Clara was mid-song, eyes closed, when she opened them and saw who was standing ten feet away.
This is the story of what happened on that bridge — and the two words Tina Turner said that Clara carried for the rest of her life.
