Some of you may have read my previous posts where I have talked about the gospel choir I joined this past fall. Now I have had this passion for singing, music, dance since i was a child. Unfortunately I was not encouraged much as a child, otherwise I think I really would have flourished. Too late to teach an old dog new tricks? Well, who knows. I can play guitar, piano, and sing, sometimes. Anyway at an open mike coffeehouse recently I was talking with a friend about how I really wanted to go on stage and sing my chant a la Thich Nhat Hanh. She said well, what have you got to lose? And I said Fear. We went on about that for a bit. All I had to lose was fear, what a novel approach. Is it that simple? And recently I thought, maybe I can give up this lifelong dream of music and be at peace with that. Part of me did feel relief. Now maybe I will suceed at it with less pressure on myself. And all I may lose is fear. : )
Would that clear the way for more love?
