Can pianists be divas?

. . . as long as you think of divas as being

this:

( operatoonity )

well, a pianist cannot be a diva.

But, as usual, I challenge you

to alter your perception

of the word diva.

This sad caricature is a distortion

of the true meaning

of divine --

The divine - the diva - in each of us 

is found

when we relax and be the thing we are

naturally,

when our talents explode

because we let them,

then, 

we naturally flower.

When we lose our lesser selves

to our greater selves,

well, 

then we are divas. 

So, 

here is another diva:

and another:

and another:

Need I go on?

Then why not this:

I dare you:

be a diva
