"Nothing in the world is permanent, and we're foolish when we ask anything to last, but surely we're still more foolish not to take delight in it while we have it. If change is of the essence of existence one would have thought it only sensible to make it the premise of our philosophy."
-W. Somerset Maugham

Inspired

Last night I had the chance to see a major influence of mine live in concert: Yanni. It was a fantastic show, good crowd, great energy and wonderful music! It was everything I had hoped it would be.

"Look well to this day, for it is life, the very life of life. In it lies all the realities and verities of existence: the bliss of growth, the glory of action, splendor of beauty. For yesterday is but a dream, and tomorrow only a vision. But today well lived makes every yesterday a dream of happiness and every tomorrow a vision of hope." -Sanskrit Proverb

Meditation

Recently took a much needed trip up into the mountains. I brought my mp3 player with the songs I've been working on and basically meditated with them, a field test of sorts. It was a good experience, feeling very inspired. -E

"The meeting of two personalities is like the contact of two chemical substances: if there is any reaction, both are transformed."
