Quoting ARR in his latest interview and echoing my exact thoughts that I have held for years. In a world of chaos, struggle, loss, heart-ache, destruction, cruelty, corruption, and greed, music is such a balm. And when it comes to deep, thoughtful music like ARR's, there is nothing out there that surpasses such music to help us feel more hopeful about the goodness of humanity and the harmony in nature. We so often lose touch with the natural rhythms of the universe. I think good, deep, thoughtful, and soulful music helps us to realign our minds and bodies to the natural harmonics that surround us. Whenever I hear touching music full of harmony and peace, it reorients my mind to what is truly beautiful about existence and shows a glimpse of our potential as human beings to live in a better world. ARR's music has always symbolized so many important things for me......sharing, valuing differences, tolerance and respect for other cultures, individual expression, the freedom to create without artificial bounds, the divinity within all of life, all of creation, the bonds among us, and pure love.
Life can be so painful. Music is such a blessing. Thank God for beautiful music to help us feel more hopeful about our potential and reminding us of the permanence within us and around us despite change and destruction and death.
