Alan Watts on Music and An Eternal Now

“You will simply become completely absorbed in sound, and therefore you will find yourself living in an eternal now, in which there is no past, and there is no future, it all becomes one, doing one happening.

When we make music, we do it to improve your mind, to improve your character and brings us into a state of peace where we can understand that the point of life is simply here and now. The journey itself is the point, the playing itself is the point.” Alan Watts

I have nothing to add to this.

In the Beginning…

…there’s innocence.

…there’s a spark.

…there’s curiosity.

…there’s a reason and the reason is for the love.

I hope you turn pro in at least one thing, if not many.

And I hope the amateur and the child in you are forever in bloom.

Leaves

Soon the leaves will start to fall.

They do this every year right about now.

Such a beautiful teacher draped in maroon-orange tempo.

May you engage, listen, and learn from them as they spiral waltz with gravity.

Only when the old goes can we find the new leaves that make the new oxygen that allow the new breath.
