The goal of healthy solitude is love: love and acceptance of ourselves as we are and where we are, and love and compassion for others.
~ from SINGLENESS by Dorothy Payne
Music is a part of life, not separate from it; and life itself is musical with its rhythms, variations of themes, episodes, fugues, counterpoints, consonances and dissonances, cadences, silences, and tonalities. When we listen to music, we are contemplating the very structures and colors that make up our own lives. The music we play mirrors the music we live.
