The Fight For Rights to Love Your Life, to Rise, Passion...

Friday night we went to see Savion Glover in Improvography at the Kodak theater. It was amazing. He tapped almost continuousyly for an hour and a half. For those who haven't seen him perform, you need to do something about that right now. Check Ticketmaster or something. Savion is amazing. Its so hard to put in words how I felt while watching him frenetically create beats with his feet all while smiling softly. He was thoroughly enjoying himself and he wanted to show the audience and he did.
Savion...
I felt a connection because that is how I feel when I am painting just because I have to get it out of me. Sometimes my ideas are too much to keep to myself and when I release them onto a canvas or a piece of furniture- I am relieved and satisfied. It doesn't matter if no one likes it, if it doesn't sell, if it sucks- cause its enough for me to see it go from concept to reality.
Driving home that night- all I could think was "Can you imagine being paid for your passion in life, and does it take work to be able to keep it true to you?"
