 Re: advice for letting go of professional dreams
Author: reprise

I just came across a relevant -- and beautifully written -- memoir called "Practicing: A Musician's Return to Music" by Glenn Kurtz. He's a classical guitarist, trained at New England Conservatory, who then gave up the instrument completely for many years. The feelings of loss he describes upon giving up the instrument are exactly what I felt -- and his description of the new perspective he gets from returning to music later on is truly inspirational. I highly recommend it!
