miles per concerto....

violachicI have discovered that the drive from Beth's place to mine at four in the morning takes EXACTLY three movements of the Telemann Viola Concerto.
How do I know this, you ask?
Its really quite simple.
It seems that, according to WFMT Radio 98.7 , the best time of the week to program solo viola repertoire is at FOUR O'CLOCK ON FRIDAY MORNINGS.
C'mon, hit me with your best viola joke. Really. Hit me. I can take it.
*siiiiiggggghhh*
Well, I think Beth feels that she has sufficiently celebrated her birthday. Many thanks to Chavo for supplying her with many drinks....free, AND freakin' strong. But it only took 2 hours at Omega to sober up :-D
But listening to the Telemann on the radio made me so very pensive. First of all, even though I've played it a billion times, I haven't played it very recently. I have a student working on it, but that's not the same thing. It was such a beautiful performance. I didn't stop to get details from the announcer because I felt that any speaking voice would ruin the effect. But it definitely made me think of what I'd be giving up by joining BVS. Not that its going to stop me. But I realized that even if Kelly wins the concerto competition at school in November, she wouldn't be performing till April, and I wouldn't be there to coach her or hear her. That broke my heart. I cried.
What do you do when you've known all your life what you want to do when you "grew up", then you end up doing it and you find that you're not nearly as happy doing it as you thought you would be, and then you realize that there's something out there that would be the epitome of fufillment, but in order to do that you have to give up the other thing you've spent your life wanting to do?
When I grow up, I want to be a hippie. Or six years old. Whatever comes first.

The voice of inexperiance..
Date: 2002-08-16 10:35 am (UTC)Here it goes..
Although I have no actual say, to add my two sence in.. I think it would go like this.
When you have dreams of what you want to do with your life.. the kind of career you wish to have, your life is different. Different people, different situations. Sometimes you're untethered to anything, which makes the idea of moving onto something so appelling. Sometimes, you don't realize how tied down you actually are.. and haven't considered the things you had to give up. That's how dreams go. It knows nothing else, but the dream.
Which is why, it takes great courage in order to follow them. To be brave enough to know exactly what you are leaving behind. Take a step into the unknown, and trust in your faith to guide you, along the way. Knowing what you will be missing, every step of the way.. that is almost so much apart of your soul- it cries outloud. But also knowing, what waits ahead for you.. that causes you to push forward.
So many people, don't have the inclination to live out their own wishes or desires. The fact that you are doing something so selfless.. and are willing to start again.. tells me something, we've all known. You are a very special.
This is what being a role model, should be about.
Everything will still be waiting here for you, when you get back. We'll all love and support you, no matter where you are.. or what you are doing. Those who care for you, have you someplace safe, deep within their heart.. so some part of you, is with them. In their mind, in their thoughts.. in everything, that reminds them of you. So, all they have to do is open their eyes.. smile, remember.. and there you are.
In the meantime, you are going to do *great. You're going to help alot of people.. and do what most of us, which we could do.. on a daily basis. Help to make the world a better place.
*big kisses*
Love,
Always,
Sarah
