I am going to apologise to my son tomorrow morning as today we were out and he was asking for more and more as children do and I ended up telling him he was rude and ungrateful. How is that for social conditioning. Clearly I need to listen to my little voice and take a leaf from my children's book and put it in it's place from time to time. Thanks for opening my eyes with your wisdom yet again WIlma. Wow Wilma, what an amazing conversation which really makes me think about how I am being.

I so agree, lets go and play, for crying out loud. Master piece, Blair absolutely an audacious masterpiece. I am sure Malcolm will agree with me, won't you Malcolm.

Sometimes I see us collectively as the silent trumpet race. We are all standing on the stage of life nervously grasping our unused trumpets. Why would God in his or her infinite wisdom want to attend that show? I'd be annoyed too if I trained ants to play Mozart only to have them chicken out on stage. Being the director you would be screaming "who cares just bloody play and have fun." I have been accused of "tooting my own horn" in the past. My thoughts are that no one else is going to play mine for me!! So start tootin folks! Make sure however that when we toot that it comes from the heart and not the ego. The two styles of playing are entirely different. One is loud and overbearing and annoys other band members, the other inspires the rest of the orchestra to get up and play along too. What's worse, many collapse the two styles and we are quickly made wrong for what is our natural god given right. To play and share. The Sound of Music: (adult version) Sing along please: "The hills are dead with the sound of silence"!!! Sounds awful don't you think? Now this conversation rocks.

I know, we are so preconditioned in so many ways that are actually not serving us. Wouldn't it be wonderful to be able to change course and NOT either beat yourself up or have to defend your decision. Great insightful comment, Malcolm, and yes we forget that the journey is more fun than the outcome. Love Wilma @Malcolm.
