"The glory of friendship is not the outstretched hand, nor the kindly smile nor the joy of companionship; it is the spiritual inspiration that comes to one when he discovers that someone else believes in him and is willing to trust him."
~ Ralph Waldo Emerson

It's a listen to opera day
My daughter is trying to push my buttons. My new job is eating my brain.
Thought I would mention that I think there is hope for me and opera. Watching Cirque de Solei is one of my favorites, and it's all about the music.
I have watched it and been moved to tears several times. I was amazed at what human talent and discipline can accomplish. Then one day I watched it with the sound off (I do this often with sports) and was completely unmoved. It was never the gymnastics that were touching me. It was the music the whole time, as it blended with the gymnastics.
