the Beauty of Art


Motivation. I'm the kind of person that will have these moments of doubts, laziness, boredom. and just when these moments occur I luckily am encountered with some form of motivation. Yesterday was a day filled of performances. After class I went to watch the Youth Orchestra perform, I was left in complete amazement. From the first note I was stunned, their entrance was so smooth, unnoticed, the rest of the performance was just as spectacular. I was jealous of the horn section, seeing some of my classmates perform wagner and beethoven with such ease. Haha, but then to the Ballet! This year marks the 200th anniversary of Chile ( I believe.) So there's a lot of hooplah surrounding it, the Gala being one of the events. My favorite performances? Giselle which starred THE Julie Kent( yea...I was in amazement when I read the program and saw that she was the guest performer..I almost died.) and then Bolero.To be honest, a confession to my ignorance, had no idea it was a ballet/ performance. It was breathtaking. The best way I can describe it. First of all the Orchestra was amazing, it was cool hearing my professor play. But the dancers?? WOW. I'm hoping it gets posted somewhere so I can..post it. ( yes , I know, my vocabulary is decreasing...saddens me so.)
With two beautiful performances I felt that slight prick of motivation. It's always a nice feeling, the feeling in your gut letting you know that you've made the right decision? It doesn't have to be as big as changing your lifestyle like I have, it can relate to anything in life.It can be as small as studying with a friend for a test or helping a family member cook, just a little ounce of comfort that settles in. Eventually i guess that comfort grows, and I'm assuming it's a nice feeling when you've realized everything that has happened and all of you decisions have finally decided together. A part of me thinks that i'm finally on that path, after all these years, I'm starting to feel some comfort with my life.
