Perspective and Faith
Happy birthday, Kari!!
Before I let my thoughts run away from me, let me just say that the performances this week went fantastically, thanks to a lot of hard work and some amazing colleagues. I love my classmates in the Maryland Opera Studio, and I’m so thankful to have landed in this place, with these people, at this time in my life. What an amazingly talented and beautiful group of good people!
It is hard to find, isn’t it? At 27, I think now that I know so much and so little. Oh, I’m still learning, by far. I’m so much younger than I feel sometimes when compared to my colleagues. In fact, I seem to keep stumbling upon crash courses in my life, and I’m not sure wither they come. Just when I think I’ve found an answer, it’s contradicted, and I suddenly have more and more questions.
Is there such a thing as a truly good man, or woman, for that matter? Would we ever be happy with one anyway? Happy with myself - that seems to be the direction in which I’m heading. We’ll see. For now, I’m thinking about a song written by an 18 year-old with an amazing perspective on life. So much for the age/maturity equation. As for faith, well, I wouldn’t be me if I gave up hope in the seemingly impossible dreams and, especially not, in my difficult but achievable goals and hopes. For now, lullaby, good night - and sweet dreams.
