Today's topic: most likely nothing horrible will happen if we screw up. It's true. Even after the most dramatic "mistake" the world continues to turn and love still flows. I believe everything is redeemable. This goes for musical mistakes as well as big, huge life mistakes. Heck, what would anyone learn without them? And heck again, something is really only a mistake by perception anyway!
Have you ever heard the story about the man who jumped off the Golden Gate Bridge and survived? He realized on the way down that the only unfixable problem in his life was the decision to jump off the bridge - everything else would have resolved itself.
When I am in the midst of a perceived mistake, big or small, I often don't remember that life will somehow transform itself. But, after all is said and done, my voice still sounds. Always. Even if it makes noise through a blog or a song, sobs or laughter. The world continues to turn and love continues to weave its magic.
Then, remembering that no mistake can ever destroy my spirit allows me to try again, sing with more guts and engage in an attitude of curiosity . . . "ok, so what next?"
What will this voice sound like now?
