Some of the many hats I wear as a Diva include Mom, Wife, Mother, Executive and Purveyor of the Arts. I have a tendency to live life as emotionally as possible. This creates for a rather rewarding experience. How does one approach life from the emotional realm? First and foremost, you consider all things with a love and passion for learning and experience. I am passionate about my experience of life.
For example, I love all aspects of the Arts. Music, Dance, Graphic Expression, Theatre, Film you name it and I am there trying to experience what the creator was feeling during the creation of the piece. Follow me, if you dare and listen to the creations of Sulic & Hauser in their classical creations , 2Cellos. The energy and sounds that come forth in the piece "Smooth Criminal" are exciting and masterful. When listening, you can hear the percussion, the intense passion and the flow of the music. I am enthralled when I consider that the entire piece is done with...two cellos. The fluidity of the stringed instrument is hypnotic to me. My mind is free to dance along the strings of the melody, all the while feeling the emotion of the musician.
I have an insatiable desire to experience all of the wonderful emotions that flow from the creative people I meet. Whether it be food, song, music, prose, drama, art, sculpture; I enjoy creating my own storyline of what the artist was feeling.
Have you looked at a painting lately, perhaps by a Master like Picasso, or a Modern Artist like Ted Ellis? Have you considered the brush strokes, colors and mood of the artist? Have you listened to a piece by Bach and let the music flow over you or perhaps simply enjoyed the song of the morning birds? Today's music has evolved from the soulful ballads of R&B, Country and Rock. But I still sing songs from Roberta Flack's First Take Album.
We are a creative people. It is important to not get lost in the logic and rhetoric of this technical age. Our souls long for creativity.
