When I asked the old man if he believed in the healing power of music, he laughed at first, and then suddenly grew serious. "I forget everything when I play. All my heart goes into the music. If I don't concentrate, the music changes, so it's best to forget all distractions and just play."
True prayer requires no word, no chant
no gesture, no sound.
It is communion, calm and still
with our own godly Ground.
