Desire

does anyone share the desire for beauty? This is the beauty that wraps around you and restores your soul, not the kind that's like candy- appeals to the eye, but never gets under your skin.  When I was small my parents took me to concerts, ballets, and shows in NYC.  I fell in love with dancing first.  My parents were somewhat surprised when I piped up in my little voice that I wanted to be a ballerina.  I remember the conversation well. 
Whatever they said worked.  While I never became a dancer (especially in public!) I always retained the desire for beauty.  The word beauty is the closest word I can find, Jon Bon Jovi calls it a moment of perfection.  Some people call it inspiration, but whatever the word, if you are at all distracted you will miss it.  To have moments like this are rare because of that or if the performer is distracted by either a technical mark they want to hit or a personal problem, you can walk away from a two hour performance and not feel a thing. Almost worse is a perfect moment that is only technical. Then you can lose someone from the art because they know it was good and felt...nothing.
Even though I am talking about dancing, the same applies to whatever Art form that is used. Music of any kind, dance, theater, even a marching band. This is what we aspire to.
