The Supper Club?

My life lately has been dominated by me spending EVERY night with this group of people.
What do you get when you put a group of people from all walks of life together, every night for 4 months, with one single goal, enduring physical challenges, emotional highs and lows, vocal projections and permission to create total arses of themselves if need be? Maybe you will get the cast of Survivor ,ambitious people with hidden desires to overthrow each other. Maybe you'll get a hand holding, kumbaya singing democratic bunch of flowers. Maybe you'll get the breakfast club with mini groups of trampled on nerds, princesses, outcasts, rebels and perfectionists. Or maybe you'll get us- people with love for music, disdain for the drama queen, united by late night munchies, pilates torture, the occasional gossip, a smattering of self-created drama and the fear of "god". Trying to be the Justice League of musical actors but maybe managing to be the Mystery Men.
Joe Hasham said something last night- "All of you have the capacity to be great therefore do not settle of ordinary. It makes me weep when I see you ordinary for i know you are not." Simple truth that reminds me of a wonderful quote by Nelson Mandela that I love but that I have great difficulty living up to most of the time:

Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine, as children do. We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It's not just in some of us; it's in everyone. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.
