Maybe you've noticed that I've stopped writing minutes...hmm. Yes, it's true, I am taking hiatus until I finish writing an article. Back soon. Until then...how about pondering this 'Quote of the moment'
"I may have difficulty comprehending the grasp that music has on its enthusiasts, but I see that as a deficiency in myself, not the music lovers. When a musician tells me Beethoven's Opus 132 is not simply an hour of music but of universal truth, is in fact a flood of beauty and wisdom, I envy him. I don't label him a nut. And being a city kid, I may be slow to appreciate the impact of nature on those raised differently, but, again, I regret that failure. And when Pablo Casals said, as he did on his ninety-fifth birthday, 'I pass hours looking at a tree or a flower. And sometimes I cry at their beauty,' I don't think age has finally gotten to old Pablo. I cry for myself."
--George Sheehan in 'Running and Being'
