One Note at a Time.....

It is looking at the whole of a thing that frustrates us and worries us. I again am delving into another musical because the reward, which is the end result, is so worth the long nights of dancing, singing ~ sometimes out of tune, and calling out Line?, that you endure. In the beginning, when you look at your script and music score it’s very intimidating and you know you have a limited amount of time to learn all of this! But today while reading The Tao Te Ching, these three sentences stuck out to me and the lights came on…where there was doubt and darkness. The 63rd Verse; Magnify the small, Increase the few. See simplicity in the complicated. Achieve greatness in little things. So I thought, instead of trying to tackle the whole song, take it one note at a time. Instead of looking at the whole music score ~ look at the one note. It is in that one note that you will find your song. “The journey of a thousand miles ~ begins with one single step.” Lao Tzu
