My name is Dom
I play the sax
Music is amazing
The Renaissance is coming
I fear what I know, not what I wonder
Here I stand
The glass is half full
This has opened my eyes
It’s something I just can’t describe
This is eden
All you have to do is smile . . .

The Five Factor Personality Test
The man who comes back through the Door in the Wall will never be quite the same as the man who went out. He will be wiser but less cocksure, happier but less self-satisfied, humbler in acknowledging his ignorance yet better equipped to understand the relationship of words to things, of systematic reasoning to the unfathomable Mystery which it tries, forever vainly, to comprehend
Aldous L. Huxley
A human being should be able to change a diaper, plan an invasion, butcher a hog, conn a ship,
design a building, write a sonnett, balance accounts, build a wall, set a bone, comfort the dying,
take orders, give orders, cooperate, act alone, solve equations, analyze a new problem, pitch manure,
program a computer, cook a tasty meal, fight efficiently, die gallantly.
Specialization is for insects.
Robert A. Heinlein
This has been a strong interest of mine ever since, and there is no end to what I can learn. It brings together chemistry, biology, psychology, religion, arts, history, culture, botany, and politics. How many areas of study branch out so fruitfully? There is enough here for lifetimes of learning. My most wonderful awakenings were when my mind was somewhere else . . .
Dominic A. Castillejo
Music moves. It is, in fact, pure movement: the movement of air in waves across the surface of our skin and the internal organs of our ears. But more than that, it moves us: it brings movement to our perception through layers of action encoded in the traces of effort audible in sound. The score is only a collection of dots and lines and letters that tells performers in the most vague terms what to do, how to move.
Nature's first green is gold,
Her hardest hue to hold.
Her early leaf's a flower;
But only so an hour.
Then leaf subsides to leaf.
So Eden sank to grief,
So dawn goes down to day.
Nothing gold can stay
