Interview:
What is life?
The (total) realization of self…?
But in life there are many mysteries… such as but not limited to:
GOD
LOVE
PEACE …
Death can only be a mystery in life… death can not be a mystery… in death.
And if this is so, you must be in Love to know Love, with God to know God and at Peace to know Peace.
There can only be one God (in you)
One Love (in you)
One Peace (in you).
And if this is so (or not), there can only be one MUSIC. The music in YOU.
MUSIC as something you GIVE.
MUSIC, GOD, LOVE, PEACE, LIFE… We can only be students of.
Good students… Bad students. … Bad at understanding and/or feeling only.
Sometimes, our sensibilities will not allow us to understand. But this is only a trick.
The PRIMUS OF THE SPIRIT… This is the key to getting to all things.
Finding, perfecting while understanding… then GIVE.
There is always more to GIVE than there is to take.
This is the GREAT DEED in life.
and there you will find YOUR SPIRITUALITY IN ALL THINGS
If we can hear, before we see… What do you think is happening to the SPIRIT?
“There can only be one MUSIC. The music in YOU. MUSIC as something you GIVE. MUSIC, GOD, LOVE, PEACE, LIFE… We can only be students of.”
– Butch Morris, cornetist, composer, and conductor
