A Lesson in Music

Play the tune again,

but this time with more regard for the

movement at the source of it

and less attention to time.

Time falls curiously in the course of it.

Play the tune again,

not watching your fingering, but forgetting,

letting flow the sound till it surrounds you.

Do not count or even think.

Let go.

Play the tune again,

but try to be nobody,

nothing,

as though the pace of the sound

were your heart beating,

as though the music were your face.

Play the tune again.

It should be easier to think less every time

of the notes, of the measure.

It is all an arrangement of silence.

Be silent and then play it for your pleasure.

Play the tune again and this time,

when it ends, do not ask me what I think.

Feel what is happening strangely in the room as the sound glooms over you, me, everything.

Now, Play the tune again."

- Alistair Reid

"I beg you ........ to have patience with everything unresolved in your heart and try to love the questions themselves as if they were locked rooms or books written in a very foreign language. don’t search for the answers, which could not be given to you now, because you would not be able to live them. and the point is to live everything, live the questions now. perhaps then, someday far in the future, you will gradually, without even noticing it, live your way into the answer............."

- Rainer Maria Rilke

"The elders were wise. They knew that man’s heart, away from nature, becomes hard; they knew that lack of respect for growing, living things, soon led to lack of respect for humans too. Chief Luther Standing Bear."
