I had a dream last night that I went to boot camp. But, it wasn't a normal boot camp. There were choices of courses we could specialize in: theology, music or art. I was one of the last to pick which course to take and I remember being discouraged that there wouldn't be any openings for art by the time I got there. Surprisingly (well, not too surprisingly considering anything can happen in a dream), the other two courses were almost full and I was one of the few who decided to take art. I remember picking up my course book and feeling confident that I made the right choice. I had a feeling that I would end up being one of the best in my troop.
Later in my dream we were all in a music class (because even though we all specialized in something, we had to learn the basics of everything) and I had to sing one line as a solo. I was embarrassed and barely managed to whisper out the line.
I know it's just a dream. But, I wonder if I'm supposed to let go of my hope that one day I'll be brave enough to play and sing in front of people and pick up my paintbrush instead...

“The only people for me are the mad ones, the ones who are mad to live, mad to talk, mad to be saved, desirous of everything at the same time, the ones who never yawn or say a commonplace thing, but burn, burn, burn, like fabulous yellow roman candles exploding like spiders across the stars and in the middle you see the blue centerlight pop and everybody goes "Awww!” - Jack Kerouac
“We need to find God, and he cannot be found in noise and restlessness. God is the friend of silence. See how nature - trees, flowers, grass- grows in silence; see the stars, the moon and the sun, how they move in silence... We need silence to be able to touch souls." - Mother Teresa

If only you understood the talent that lies inside of you, you wouldn't hesitate to pick up your paintbrush.
