Music. I did not choose it. It chose me. Likely a poor choice on its part, but nevertheless a choice.
Surely, studies have been conducted and scientific evidence provided as to how people are gifted with certain talents and why they feel the insatiable need to attach themselves to those talents. Regardless, I have attached myself and the uncertainty of knowing whether or not I'll ever succeed continuously haunts me. Success, in all its subjective glory, matters not right now. Today, I push aside the judge in order to consider why I do what I do and why I must continue to do it, even if it is hard to accept the inevitable failures. Joyce DiDonato, on her website's vlog (http://www.youtube.com/user/TheYankeediva?feature=mhum) may have said it best, "No matter where you end up on your journey, you will have had the immense privilege of spending time with music."
And so, today I am spending time with Leonardo Balada's Guernica.
