And I agree that it is difficult to accept complexity as is and without deciphering it--to enjoy it!Ruth Schowalterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03106140875246572230noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2733812559283418635.post-63716234841750460322014-01-17T15:48:41.844-05:002014-01-17T15:48:41.844-05:00This came up in my singing class this morning - Yo...This came up in my singing class this morning - You wrote: "From our inception and the beginning of our journey to its end, we are changed. We are transformed. We are altogether something different than what we were. And what we have become is MORE. This MORE is complex, and, at its best, might invite us to investigate with curiosity all that is there in ourselves and in others." I had not read the blog until now and am, of course, delighted with the synergy. At my singing lesson we talked about the fact that singing doesn't have to be for a reason, for a purpose, with purpose and energy but can just arrive in all its complexity. In essence, the act of singing is opaque and for a person of purpose (ie, me!) this can be challenging.
