“Ultimately, musicians of the world must come realise the potential of their calling.
Like the shamans, we may serve as healers, metaphysicians, inciters, exciters,
spiritual guides and sources of inspiration.
If the musician is illuminated from within,
he becomes a lamp that lights other lamps.
Then he is serving planet and its people,
healing what ails us. Such music is truly important.
It is said that “only one who obeys can truly command.”
When the artist is immersed in a services,
giving himself up over and over again, another paradox occurs:
He is being seen by all others as a master.”
― Kenny Werner, Effortless Mastery: Liberating the Master Musician Within

“Day followed day, each one a little different from the one before...but the little house stayed just the same.”
― Virginia Lee Burton, The Little House

“Anyone in pursuit of art is responding to a desire to make visible that which is not, to offer the unknown self to others.”
― Hettie Jones

“Tea stirs poetic feeling and inspires gentle reverie”
― Henri Mariage
