This blog post will sound strange, but I hope to take some of what I have learned in this life with me when I die.
I don't believe in natural talent. Natural talents or people who are a prodigy might just be someone who worked on it in a past life. I will give you a piano player as an example. We will name him Tim. At first, Tim comes across a piano, and he plays it a little, and Tim kind of likes it. And then, in a second life, Tim played again. Maybe Tim liked it again. I picture Tim drawn to the music or the instrument, and it felt familiar, so he would want to play. Okay, now let's say Tim had always touched those keys, and maybe it was just a reminisce of Tim's last life when he played. And so, in the next life, Tim encounters a piano, and he is a panio teacher. Or maybe Tim played in a jazz club. (I could see Tim as a jazz guy.) Tim was good but not great. Our boy Tim simply likes the music or the instrument and is captivated, and people say things like, "You picked up the piano so fast, Tim." Or they say, "You must have an ear for music, Tim." But it's not as simple as that. I think Tim played and learned, and some of that knowledge goes with him into the next life. Tim got to keep it when he died. Then, he becomes a prodigy who plays Mozart at the age of five. Am I explaining this right? One day, I want to wake up and be able to write a book even though I'm only four years old. I want writing to be a familiar comfort, like the hug of a family friend. I want to take what I have learned and keep it for the next life. I want to keep going. Here's to hoping.
