The freedom of the inner melody

To make art, we have to let go of our con­cep­tions, tram­ple our struc­tures, release our soul. When we have laid it all out, we’ll under­stand our­selves, the essence of our sound. This takes courage. This great photo is one of many musi­cian pho­tos by Juan Car­los Hernandez.

Borges’ orderly flights of imagination

I love the order­li­ness of this page of man­u­script from Jorge Luis Borges. And I love this line from Con­jec­tural Poem. In the mir­ror of this night I find The unex­pected mien of my eter­nity. Both the man­u­script and the line are sur­prises. They are filled with con­trol, cer­tain about their pur­pose and uncon­strained by convention.
