The Biology Of Purpose Keeps My Nose

I Belong To A Gospel Choir. They Know I Am An Atheist But They Are Very Tolerant.

It's Easy To Forget That Your Best Work Is Done When Your Attention Is Fully Engaged.

I Want To Rethink Surrender As An Active Verb.

When You Build A Building, You Finish A Building. You Don't Finish A Garden; You Start It, And Then It Carries On With Its Life. So My Analogy Was Really To Say That We Composers Or Some Of Us Should Think Of Ourselves As People Who Start Processes Rather Than Finish Them. And There Might Be Surprises.

Something I’ve Realized Lately, To My Shock, Is That I Am An Optimist, In That I Think Humans Are Almost Infinitely Capable Of Self-change And Self-modification, And That We Really Can Build The Future That We Want If We’re Smart About It.
