LOVE ALONE PREVAILS

About Me

This says it all:
"What is to give light must endure burning".
-Viktor Frankl-
"Until one is committed, there is hesitancy, the chance to draw back, always ineffectiveness. Concerning all acts of initiative (and creation), there is one elementary truth the ignorance of which kills countless ideas and splendid plans: that the moment one definitely commits oneself, then providence moves too. All sorts of things occur to help one that would never otherwise have occurred. A whole stream of events issues from the decision, raising in one's favour all manner of unforeseen incidents and meetings and material assistance, which no man could have dreamed would have come his way.Whatever you can do or dream you can, begin it. Boldness has genius, power and magic in it. Begin it now".
-J. W. von Goethe -
"THE KEY TO THE MYSTERY OF A GREAT ARTIST.... THAT FOR REASONS UNKNOWN TO HIM OR ANYONE ELSE, HE WILL GIVE AWAY HIS ENERGIES AND HIS LIFE JUST TO MAKE SURE THAT ONE NOTE FOLLOWS ANOTHER INEVITABLY... THE COMPOSER BY DOING THIS,LEAVES US AT THE FINISH WITH THE FEELING THAT SOMETHING IS RIGHT IN THE WORLD, THAT SOMETHING CHECKS THROUGHOUT, SOMETHING THAT FOLLOWS ITS OWN LAWS CONSISTENTLY SOMETHING WE CAN TRUST, THAT WILL NEVER LET US DOWN."
-Leonard Bernstein-
"Each friend represents a world in us, a world possibly not born until they arrive".
~Anäis Nin
Each day I feel fortunate to have music in my life, to witness the mysterious creative process unfold,to have the possibility to transcend the ordinary into a magical and beautiful universe.
I thank all of you for listening,coming by to visit, and wish each and everyone,good,satisfying deep dives in all your creative endeavors.
