We tend to find ourselves in one of three camps…
Two of these are cuffs on the hands of our hearts and souls.
One of these breaks the chains.
Dearest music maker,
I am so grateful for you joining me on the journey of making music with our lives. 2016 was a wonderful and beautiful year for Let The Music Play Podcast.
I remember the first time I ever interviewed someone twelve months ago. I didn’t know how to work the recording device and had no idea how much of an art form interviewing someone is. Nevertheless, I kept hitting record and asking my heroes, mystics, authors, artists, sages, and philosophers about the music they make with their life, relationships, and careers.
In this episode you will find a few of the highlights from the past year’s interviews. Enjoy!
And a BIG thank you goes out to Ryan O’Neal of Sleeping At Last for providing the music playing behind all of this wisdom shared!
Godspeed,
Ashton
Passion hides in compassion…as does compass.
Light hides in enlighten.
Be hides in begin, being, and better.
Maybe hide isn’t the right word here…especially once we’ve been given eyes to see them. Maybe rest is the appropriate feel and vibe for this conversation.
Heschel told us “words create worlds”.
It looks like they also unveil worlds within the worlds they create.
A healthy you is the greatest gift you can offer those you’ve been entrusted with.
Whole & connected > Fragmented and divided.
Unity > Uniformity.
What one may find as strange in a stranger can be the door that opens into a friendship.
Enough is the magic number.
Life isn’t about you, but you must be about Life.
The space between curiosity and gratitude is a great place to call home.
Beauty and time share trajectories. So take your time and soak in the beauty.
A soupy life offers much more texture and flavor than one that goes a la carte.
When we grow our capacities we allow ourselves to hold more of our experiences.
Happy New Year.
Happy New Month.
Happy New Day.
Happy New Hour.
Happy New Minute.
Happy New Moment.
May you be a redemptive presence with the blinking cursors Life has gifted you with.
