Zacharias 2003 Acknowledgments I was so honored when Byron Williamson and Joey Paul from Integrity Publishers first talked to me about writing on this subject. This has been a theme on my heart for many years, but I never felt quite up to it. My original hesitancy was because of the grandeur of the theme and the need to do justice to it. With their sincere encouragement, even to the point of thinking through an outline for me, I felt I would accept the privilege and do my best. My heartfelt thanks to them and to everyone at Integrity. They live up to their name. As usual, there are two who always help beyond the call of duty. Danielle DuRant, my research assistant, knows where to go for what I need and has now colabored with me for so many years that I would be quite lost without her help. Finally, and always most significantly, my wife, Margie. With quiet confidence she will question that which is not clear and affirm that which really touches her heart. What an invaluable asset she has been. She edits the manuscript and deservedly has the last word. I would be remiss if I did not thank my colleagues at work again—they ungrudgingly allow me times of absence to get the work done and “cover the bases” for me in my absence. They make my life more wonderful. None of this, of course, would be smooth sailing without my friend and literary representative, Robert Wolgemuth. He does what he does so well, and I am the receiver of the blessing as a result. His dad is one of those to whom this book is dedicated. 5 RECAPTURE THE WONDER Integrity Publishers Ravi K. Zacharias 2003 Introduction During the three decades that I have crisscrossed this globe and seen much of the world, I have frequently been asked what my favorite city is or what food I enjoy the most. The latter is easier to answer than the former because, while cities have attractions for different reasons, the palette is conditioned by one’s land of birth. Strangely, I have never been asked for my favorite sight. Now, that is a tough one. I am not sure I could pick a single spectacle, but I know one experience that would be in the running as the most emotionally moving moment for me. One brilliantly sunny day, I was driven from Cape Town to very near land’s end in South Africa—Cape Point. As my colleague and I stood there, staring into the wild blue yonder, the sight was utterly breathtaking. Yes, I have seen the Taj Mahal and many of the other so-called wonders of the world. But this was sheer enchantment! Whether it was because we were not expecting such a banquet for the eyes, or whether it was just some preconditioning from a busy day, I would not even venture to analyze. All I know is that the scene affected both of us in the same way. We stood at the edge of the land and watched as the waters of the calm Atlantic and the restless Indian Oceans collided into one massive torrent of fluid strength, the power of the current almost visible to the naked eye. That body of water has been the graveyard of many a mariner trying to navigate his way around the globe. The endless horizon, the borderless blue and turquoise of the mighty waters, and the frothy white tips of the crashing waves as they collided against each other—this scene from the world’s end seemed to overwhelm us with a stupendous sense of awe. For seemingly unexplainable reasons, my eyes filled with tears. I was in the throes of enjoying the wonder and the vastness of creation. I felt at once both dwarfed and 6 RECAPTURE THE WONDER Integrity Publishers Ravi K. Zacharias 2003 elevated, dwarfed because my entire stature as a human being seemed so diminished compared to the display of beauty and power before me but elevated because I could revel in this glorious sight while the land and water combined could not exult in its own beauty or share in my delight. Enchantment needs a mind and the emotions are given as a wellspring. But then a strange, unexpected sensation took hold of us and we both did something that neither of us had ever done before. We walked back a few steps, found a sharp stone, and scratched the names of our wives onto the surface of a massive piece of rock, realizing that in a matter of days the writing would be erased. But the thought and act spoke volumes. We had been in the throes of wonder and the moment seemed incomplete without being able to enjoy it with the ones dearest to us. That awe-filled experience is more than just an illustration to me. It summarizes for me what life is intended to be—the thrill of wonder and the irresistible urge to share it. That is what this book is about. Each of us has known a moment in which everything in life that is beautiful and overwhelming was suddenly crystallized into a bite-sized moment. Every sense was involved, almost like a convergence of all that is true and good and beautiful, so that we wished we could have frozen the moment and made it last forever. But God, in His infinite wisdom, has shown us that life was never meant to be that way, no more than salt is intended to be eaten by itself or, for that matter, than any seasoning is meant to be enjoyed apart from the food it is enhancing. How, then, does one retain a sense of wonder without being permanently entranced? How does one live in such a way that the mundane blends with the dramatic so that the whole story remains sensational? How does one take the emotional high points and successfully balance them with the sharp edges of sorrow that are also part of life? How do we live so that we avoid 7 RECAPTURE THE WONDER Integrity Publishers Ravi K. Zacharias 2003 becoming, at the end of life, the proverbial cynic or the “grumpy old person”? Why must that be? Like the wedding at Cana of Galilee, can the best not be saved for the last? It can. It will take the touch of the Master and that is the miracle only He can perform; however, we must fill these jars of clay according to His instructions if the conditions are to be met for celebrating life right to the end. May these pages help us capture that truth and recapture the wonder. That is the way the Shepherd of our souls intended us to live. I sincerely hope this book will lead us to the knowledge that befits the title—Recapture the Wonder. It could just as easily have been called Recaptured by Wonder because, in a sense, it is not as much about something we may possess as it is about what possesses us. Join me on this journey of thought as we savor the delicacies God has prepared for the imagination and the mind, delicacies that time will only enrich. 8 RECAPTURE THE WONDER Integrity Publishers Ravi K. Zacharias 2003 Chapter One We Miss It, but What Is It? The tragedy with growing up is not that we lose childishness in its simplicity, but that we lose childlikeness in its sublimity. It happened again the other day as we were in one of the teeming cities of our land. My wife and I were walking hurriedly to keep an appointment.

  • Developmental Cross Training Repertoire for Musical Theatre
    Developmental Cross Training Repertoire for Musical Theatre Women The repertoire suggestions below target specific developmental goals. It is important to keep in mind however that the distinguishing characteristic of musical theatre singing is the variability of tonal resonance within any given song. A predominantly soprano song might suddenly launch into a belt moment. A chest dominant ballad may release into a tender soprano. Story always pre-empts musical choices. “Just You Wait” from My Fair Lady is part of the soprano canon but we would be disappointed if Eliza could not tell Henry Higgins what she really felt. In order to make things easier for beginning students, it’s a good idea to find repertoire with targeted range and consistent quality as students develop skill in coordinating registration. Soprano Mix—Beginner, Teens to Young Adult Examples of songs to help young sopranos begin to feel functionally confident and enthusiastic about characters and repertoire. Integrating the middle soprano is a priority and it is wise to start there. My Ship Lady in the Dark Weill Far from the Home I Love Fiddler on the Roof Bock/ Harnick Ten Minutes Ago Cinderella Rodgers/Hammerstein Mr. Snow Carousel Rodgers/Hammerstein Happiness is a Thing Called Joe Cabin in the Sky Arlen/Harburg One Boy Bye Bye Birdie Strouse/Adams Dream with Me Peter Pan Bernstein Just Imagine Good News!

  • Read the Journal
    Composite Journal 1 The following is a composite of journal made up of entries written by students in the 2008-2009 session of the Theater in London Class. The names, school years, and majors of the authors follow each entry. In some cases multiple entries for a single play are provided so as to allow the reader to see how different students responded to the same performance. Cinderella (2008). Dir. Melly Still. Based on Brothers Grimm Aschenputtel. Written by Ben Power and Melly Still. Lyric Hammersmith Theatre The Lyric Hammersmith Theatre has a reputation for unique and alternative Christmas shows, and this version of Cinderella certainly didn't disappoint. The play not only models itself after the original Grimm Brother's Aschenputtel but also incorporates elements of other traditional folk tales to add depth to the backgrounds of the characters. It is a darker and more introspective Cinderella than the Perrault-based Disney version many are familiar with, but it is by no means less tender. The depth of character development and psychological intricacy of this production are, in my opinion, its greatest strengths; though at times I felt the storytelling could have been less convoluted. I admired the Pulp-Fiction-esque timeline and its contribution to the dreaming landscape of the production, but I was occasionally distracted from the performance while trying to sort through the multiple myths and multiple timelines in my head. Another thing I admired about this production was the characterization of the step-sisters: they are not exactly sympathetic but are portrayed in a less harsh light than in most Cinderella tales I have read.
