Aren't identities interesting? How we identify someone. What we identify someone. Artist, nerd, the guy that always brings his lunch to work, ginger, critic, mathematician, radical, feminist, christian, mormon, atheist, muslim, the fire guy. I'm at least one of those but that isn't usually what I'm identified as or even what I identify myself as.
Today I had a meeting with a pastor. I play music and stuff and I wanted to play for them. As we were wrapping up our meeting he got a phone call. It was is sound tech supervisor that had already called him during our meeting so this time he answered."Hello? Hey whats up? Ya, I'm going to come in today, I am just finishing a meeting with a drummer."
I was thinking about it on my drive home. For a split 3 seconds, life was simplified to a point where I was just that. A drummer. This guy on the phone, that is all he knew me as. My single identity....Drummer.
I wonder why we find it necessary to always "find our identity". Its all you ever hear it seems. Maybe it would be nice if I took 3 seconds a day and simplify myself to one identity.
