A true artist is not someone who merely perfects a technique. Well refined as my skills may end up being, I can by no means honestly call myself a musician unless my practice and my daily life are not separate from one another. Hearing the songs of the world in even the most mechanistic, chaotic, off beat of sounds and dancing to the rhythms of life and death with joy is to be sensitive to the truly infinite number of synchronistic miracles one need only listen for to find.
