Hello
I suppose I should write. I haven't done so in quite some time. The coming of a new year also makes writing a post more acceptable.
Much has happened since the day I left for Stetson. I can't regret a single moment because all incidences lead to others. I must believe there lies a better life just beyond the horizon. If not, I will not take for granted thinking and dreaming of what might have happened.
In some ways I'm happy I left Miami. If I had not done so, I could have never seen a new beautiful outlook on life. Stetson and Deland has changed me. Sometimes I wish I were oblivious to everything I know now. So it seems the more I grow the less I expect out of life. Maybe that's how it's suppose to be. Life isn't a quest to reach some intangible goal, but rather a journey to accepting one's self (which is quite tangible). I can proudly say I realize that' is what my life goal is; however, I remain unsatisfied having not reached this state of acceptance. Perhaps I'm too impatient. Scorpios are very impatient (if you believe in such things).
In my semester at Stetson I have grown spritually, and have applied this spiritual connection to my music. I suppose I can thank Dr Raines for that. Dr. Raines is the choral conductor at Stetson University. One quotation I have learned has made all the difference in my life.
"The secret to music lies in the breath." - Dr, Raines
Maybe that quotation will be of some use to my fellow musicians who read my posts. It has changed the way I see music, and in many ways this quotation has helped me realize what true phrasing is.
Sorry if my academic life bores some of you. I have little more to give. I have no social life anymore. I don't say this with a means to attaining some pity from all of you. I honestly don't care. If I am to go through life alone...so be it.
Through every failure I live.
