One of those divine moments

This is it. My last week at Berklee. And with every moment the feeling of a grand climax is coming upon me. Tomorrow may be the EPIC piece as Annette likes to call it. THe Berklee Indian ENsemble which is most like my family than everything here, is having our show. With Kathak, Bharat Natyam and student compositions. One of those pieces is mine. almost 40 people performing it together tomorrow.

Today we rehearsed it with me at the other end of the room watching them. It was incredible, I had tears. It was one of those divine moments I've always wanted to experience. I remember when I was writing this piece and felt so insecure about whether it would be good or grand enough for the whole ensemble. And Annette had posted this thing on FB about how you have to keep making and keep making and you'll know when its great, but you must keep making. So I built the piece from the sudden Idea i had had when I was in bed watching family guy or something. Tomorrow we will perform it in front of hundreds. But today it was performed in front of me, and I felt it. It may not be the greatest piece ever but with the right people it gave of love and happiness and hope.

I cannot believe how wonderful my life is sometimes. And as much as it scares me to not be a student and part of such grand families, I feel drawn to making my own grand family soon.
