The Symphony

A few weekends ago we had the opportunity to go to the Pittsburgh Symphony since there was a CMU night. We headed over for a little pre-show reception and enjoyed the fruit and cheese as well as hearing the Presidents of Carnegie Mellon and the conductor talk about the experience. I think Daniel and I have always tried to enjoy a variety of cultural events since we started dating. We really love having a taste of a variety of things and the symphony was no different. It was a very enjoyable event and even though I kind of think some of the traditions of the symphony are strange it was a good night and incredible talents were shared.
I have found that at the symphony that I have a lot of time to think about anything and everything. Something I couldn't help but think while we were listening is that all of these people performing have extraordinary musical talent and that talent probably came from their passion for their instrument. I am sure there is a lot of lessons, classes, and hours behind every musicians performance. I couldn't help but wonder what my passion is. This has been something I have struggled with for a while and at this time of my life I feel like I wish I knew my passion now more than ever. I not only want to discover my passion but also feel like it has purpose behind it. What can I do that I not only love but that will be something I can contribute to society. It is a really hard question, but I want to have a focus on it in my life and I want to do things that will allow me to discover talents and passions.
