Life is a long, wondrous and continuous introduction to yourself.

The act of creation — it leads me to unknown places. Only to make me realize that all was known, always. And yet, I live every day with the hope that I’ll explore, create and grow into someone new. Because what’s life if not a long, wondrous and continuous introduction to yourself.

In this journey, music lives by my side. I find melody in my writing, and a lot of writing in my melodies. Sometimes, I hear songs in the bubbles of boiling tamarind water. Or in the stroke of red paint over the canvas. Or in the giggles of a child after a good joke. Tunes find their way even into my boredom, curiosity and the thoughts in between. And a rhythm taps into my sorrow, so it can take the leap to laughter.

Such is music. Such is life — yours and mine.

Hello!

The disease of meaning

You’re not what you feel — this is an understanding that helps most people, especially practicing artists. However, you might still fall into the pit hole of misery because of extreme trauma or a dramatic life event, and call yourself miserable.

This talk is a clear reminder of how to ‘lead’ our lives with an awareness of our experiences, their affect on our everyday behavior, and our intrinsic ability to navigate these effects our own way.

As mentioned in one of the comments, you might find it more helpful to think of ‘control’ as a way to recognize the feelings and emotions, rather than mastering them.
