The Lincoln Center Moment

I got a private tour of the Lincoln Center.  Walking the hallways, the behind the scenes that the many greats have walked.  I was there.  Like really there, my soul was shining.  I was taken.  I walked with a legend of sorts and he will remain unnamed.  This doesn't happen to most and for that I am thankful.  I touched the gray walls as if I had been there before but in reality I will never see the Lincoln center the way I did tonight.  I was a kid in a candy store.

I also found a music mentor tonight, one willing to open a few closed doors for me.  He has offered a window for me to sneak through.  This is not messing around, this is pretty major.  For that I give a kind smile to someone that sees something in me.  For however brief we crossed paths for reason I may not understand for right now.  I trust this, these things I trust.  He has taken me under his wing, he will never know how in this moment he has changed me.  This isn't small time anymore.  I weaved through the halls completely comforted by talent all around me.  I can do this, I am this.  I may be a little girl with a dream but this dream has taken me to some great places within the last 7 days.  Something rapid is happening around me and it just keeps getting better and the people around me are something of greatness.

I saw beautiful stages tonight, my imagination keeps growing.  I want these venues.  I want to create within these walls.  This moment has changed my thinking to go even greater, to strive even further.  I have someone willing to expose me to some pretty epic things.  We are friends, kindred spirits with the same love although his is a tad more matured.  I got to see Lincoln Center in a way most won't be able to. I got an in and let me remind you that when a door closes a window opens and I am living proof of a statement I said months ago when I had nothing when I had lost a lot.

I express gratitude.  I say thank you and I believe I am exactly where I am supposed to be.  As I was leaving the lead singer stopped and said I am now going to sing some blues.  I paused and acknowleged this sign.  She sang and my heart pounded for her, I knew in that moment I was on the right path.  I had figured out my journey and now my imagination is endless.  I had found endlessness again, the world is my oyster and will only be limited by what I haven't imagined yet.  Now I know to shoot bigger.
