Life is a score.  I am the conductor.

I cannot change the notes and rhythms,

But I control the interpretation.

I can choose to be static, unchanging,

Or I can choose to be free and open.

I can choose to be forte or piano.

I can choose to cut a note short or hold it out.

Life is a score.  I am the conductor. 

I cannot change the notes and rhythms,

But I control the interpretation.
