Music List 2012-2013

MUSIC LIST 2012-2013

 

September 16, 2012 through June 9, 2013

 

Major Themes (areas of contemplation) for the 2012-2013 season

 

  • “We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an act, but a habit.” - Attributed to Aristotle.

  • “We really are a gift that we give to each other - and we do that by showing up for each other each and every week.” MTK The more we show up the more we give the gift and the more we show up the more we receive the gift.”

  • I would love to see us use the gift of showing up for each other this year. This will contribute to improving our excellence by replacing habits that have not worked well with new habits that by their very nature of mutual care will be mutually beneficial. As our habits improve so will our excellence.
