I attended the enigmatic and charismatic: Ben Zander- "Alive with Possibilities" presentation today at the Baxter.This wonderfully transformational company Symphonia (where Johleen works, thanks my friend for the ticket!) hosted this Boston-Philharmonics conductor in 2008 and they've expanded the message and influence to the roll-out of a "South Africa: Alive with Possibilities" dvd. Ben & Rosamund Zander is back in SA.
Symphonia for South Africa is a registered Non-Profit Organisation with a vision to strengthen the fabric of South African society. We lead and initiate projects that are intended to engage South Africans in processes of nation building so that we can truly be a country that is "Alive with Possibility!"
I had the pleasure of attending this.
We laughed, we sang and the audience had such a good time listening to and getting captivated by Benjamin's authentic life-lessons, stories, anecdotes and his piano-playing.
Darling young musician from the University of Stellenbosch played the tjello for us. Moving.
an extract of Ben & Rosamund's book" The art of possibility" (page18)
we grow up in a world of measurement, and in this world we get to know each other and things by measuring them, and by comparing them and contrasting them.
page 19:
Let us suppose now that a universe of possibility stretches beyond the world of measurement to include all worlds:
infinite, generative and abundant.
Unimpeded on a daily basis by the concern for survival, free from generalized assumptions of scarcity, a person stands in a great space of possibility in a posture of openness with an unfettered imagination of what can be."
I'm blessing you today with a hug which carries the universe of possibility.

I'm in love with classical music all over again.
