Happiness: a personal, positive, transitory feeling. More intense than contentment yet shorter lived. Less than elation yet longer experienced.
Be more than harm can touch.
Be loved and love.
Be the open arms of trust...
After completing a music composition and its performance I begin the mastering process. At this stage I am not creating new musical ideas, but shaping existing sonic materials with tools that subtly change the character of sounds. These changes may seem small: a half decibel here or the addition of a few harmonics there, but they can have a significant impact on the music’s overall aural cohesion.
In general, as with any finishing stage, a light touch makes the greatest difference.
We have a choice when viewing our journey. We can focus on the mystery and process of dying, or on the summary and present moment of our experience: life. Whether we choose to make or destroy, love or hate are actions born from fear or hope in our future: will we be? or will we not?
When life is dark it is difficult to direct our gaze other than on our own feelings and loss, and yet in these moments it is only the actions of our love for others that provokes happiness to return.
William Shakespeare
A place where one fresh thought is presented every day.
