Relationships

              There is a unique kind of bond that is formed when people come to gather with one goal. This happens more often that you would think. A lot of the time you don’t even know it has happen until you try to through some one new into the equation or for some reason some one is not there. I’m not sure there is a name for this relationship but then again I haven’t been around it as often as some people. I think my first introduction to this almost family like relationship was when I was on a YMCA volleyball team two semesters in a row. I knew everyone and cared about every one even if I didn't particularly like everyone on the team. Because of that it made playing more fun. I don’t know why but those relationships are one of the reasons I like volleyball so much.

               There is a phenomenon in the music world where once you have performed with someone you have a connection with that person. Small groups of performers or often admired for the massive amount of communication that goes on while they are preforming a peace, it is not an easy thing to communicate without words while thinking about twenty other things. While the more experience you have the easier it is to communicate with out words knowing the person you are talking to helps so much.  When you first meet someone no matter who it is, it’s a little awkward, try preforming with someone you’ve just met. Once you have rehearsed with someone you know them probably better that you would have just by talking to them. You know there strengths and weaknesses and you know how they communicate whether it is just with a nod or the move there whole body. There is a cello player in the orchestra who moves a lot especially during our quartet peace at first it was really confusing I couldn’t tell if what he was doing. If we had tried to preform it without a rehearsal I would have been very lost, it would have been terrible.

                The way I see it is that when you are writing or even just don’t you homework you are trying to make a connection to whoever it is that is reading you words. You half to give a little before you can get anything. And writing is learning how to make a connection with someone you might never meet. It is pretty awesome if you think about it.
