Tuesday Quotes<\/a> are short explorations of music, life, and the daily endeavor of practicing classical guitar. Enjoy!<\/p>\n

\n

\u201cAm I tough? Am I strong? Am I hard-core? Absolutely. Did I whimper with pathetic delight when I sank my teeth into my hot fried-chicken sandwich? You betcha.\u201d

James Patterson<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

\n

Throughout our days, we don many hats. We are the worker, the lover, the hero, the apprentice. We are the current, the ex, the hopeful, the seasoned.<\/p>\n

We manage our inner and outer reputations with the greatest care \u2013 even as we craft the facade of not caring.<\/p>\n

We form our identities and cling to them like life-rafts. There are places we go, and others off-limits. We build armories around the areas we sense may be powder-kegs. We don\u2019t talk about them. We change the subject.<\/p>\n

But as musicians, our job is to accept and cherish the full range of human experience. Music allows us to experience the emotions and feelings that may be missing in our daily routines. Music can confirm and clarify nagging notions. It can be a salve, or a lance.<\/p>\n

Bren\u00e9 Brown once suggested that happiness is the most vulnerable emotion. It takes courage to savor a moment, knowing it will end. Self-preservation steps in to protect us from the loss, and in doing so dampens the joy.<\/p>\n

It takes bravery to relish a high, then remain open to the following low. It takes strength to go places that don\u2019t feel safe. It\u2019s far easier to play it cool and pretend those places aren\u2019t real. Or not real for us.<\/p>\n

Maya Angelou said, \u201cWe are all human; therefore, nothing human can be alien to us.\u201d<\/p>\n

As we explore our music, our experience and enjoyment expands to the extent we embrace empathy.<\/p>\n

When we seek to understand and communicate<\/a> without reserve, we give listeners (and ourselves) the greatest gift – a reminder of what it is to be human.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
