mandolin lessons

new experiences.

there's something intriguing about
them -- these new experiences.
they have a funny way of
making us what we are.

new experiences...
just because.
just because you saw it
once.
just because you thought you'd
never.
just because you know he'll love

My cousin playing his new mandolin. He's just a wee bit excited!

it.
just because you were
curious.
just because.

it's always inspiring to
see people choosing, seeking out, walking to
these,
sometimes scary
sometimes intimidating
sometimes crazy
experiences.

like, 
deciding it's time to get a 
motocycle license.
like,
moving your entire family
to Texas
for a few months.

or like asking your parents to
buy you a mandolin
because you just wanted to learn
to play.

new experiences.

they have a funny way
of often
making us what we are.


cheers,
natalie

  1. Awww, missing you already. But hoping there will be mandolin and banjo tunes to play for you when we return.
