Course Intro
Mastery: possession or display of great skill or technique |
Another example of mastery
Another one of my favorite descriptions of "mastery" comes from the poet laureate of New Jersey, Bruce Springsteen, on a DVD entitled, "Storytellers." As part of the concert, Mr. Springsteen describes writing the lyrics to the song "The Rising." He says, "These are the songs that you wait for. Did I think of any of this before I wrote the song? Nope. But I felt all of it when I was writing the song. Over thirty years you internalize your craft and the mechanics of storytelling; it becomes like a second language. You speak without thinking. It's like a second skin that you feel with. So you pray to the gods of creativity and aliveness that you remain awake and alert and in command of your senses so that when the moments arrive you are ready."
