Anything you could think of, anything you were stuck with, it could be done.

as usual, i went to my flute class without practising for the past week. i was feeling hungry, weary and frustrated. and i felt so out of place since all of my classmates except me will do this stage performance thingy at the end of this month! and silly thoughts and feelings were slipping in and out of my mind, so i played it all wrong during the lesson. then i just thought is it the end? learning flute started to become a dreadful thing for me.

and then, my classmates was dueting their piece for performance. while i was listening, i was touched. performance-wise, it's not a great one; the piece isn't something technical challenging. but i was touched, i was touched that after a year, my classmates had already able to play some fine flute music. suddenly i felt like, if you did try, you might get the thing done. it's probably some silly cliche, but at that moment, i was touched. and that reminds of a song by looper called "dave the moon man".

"Dave the Moonman. He'd look up at the blurred stars, as the dew on the grass soaked through the back of his jacket and the back of his trousers, and then he'd look towards the moon. All that distance from the surface he was pinned down on to the surface glowing in the darkness, with nothing but space all the way in between. Nothing to hold onto. And yet, someone had managed to get there. Someone had managed to do that. A truly impossible thing. So he'd get up out of the grass, light-hearted again. It made everything else possible. Anything you could think of, anything you were stuck with, it could be done."

surely, i will turn back to that lazy bastard a few days later, and probably won't practise until the next lesson. but it's good that i feel i'm alive at that particular moment. maybe the thing could not be done now, it could be done later on...

by the way, my english is kind of suck. :D
