new strings

I started to play a new instrument tonight.

It was a good feeling. Not exactly a good sound yet… haha

But a good feeling to start something new. 

I have wanted to play it since I was little. Cello even more - 

but don’t have cello to practice with yet…

new eyes

Imagine seeing light after 30 years of darkness…

thirst for truth

 

‘Well, really, you know, I am not aware of a thirst for some ready-made truth which puts an end to intellectual activity in the way you seem to be describing. Will it leave me the free play of Mind, Dick? I must insist on that, you know’

‘Free, as a man is free to drink while he is drinking. He is not free still to be dry.’

The Ghost seemed to think for a moment. ‘I can make nothing of that idea,’ it said.

‘Listen!’ said the White Spirit ‘Once you were a child. Once you knew what inquiry was for. There was a time when you asked questions because you wanted answers, and were glad when you had found them. Become that child again: even now.’

‘Ah, but when I became a man I put away childish things.’

‘You have gone far wrong. Thirst was made for water; inquiry for truth.’ 

- C.S. Lewis – The Great Divorce

giving

There is a wonderful mythical law of nature that the three things we crave most in life – happiness, freedom, and peace of mind — are always attained by giving them to someone else. – Peyton C. March

cause and effect

 

We look back, and we look for a reason that will make sense of this. We think that life is like a pinball game of cause and effect that we can trace backwards. Maybe this gives us a sense of control. In reality, what we look back on are at best the ripples on the surface of a deeper sea, the secret things of which are not to be known at this time. – M. P. 

the silence of space

yes, please.

No wonder such beautiful music is made here.
