imitation update

Yesterday, I mentioned the idea of being drawn to being a pastor rather than to pastoring, and being drawn to being a worship leader rather than to leading worship.
This is certainly true among guitarists. I find many students come to my studio because the want to play the guitar, but are quite disinterested in music. That they have to play music on the guitar is an inconvenience.
There is a huge difference in needing to speak, and therefore, searching for something to say, and having something burning in you that has to be said, and searching for a medium to say it. It quite different to want to play, and looking for music to play, and having music that needs to be expressed and searching or an instrument that will do it justice.
Today, postsecret blog had this entry in this week's postcards. I thought it was timely and representative of a common motivation.
