Jeff Leisawitz, “How Creativity Heals Us and Why It’s a Gift to the World”, Tiny Buddha. https://tinybuddha.com/blog/how-creativity-heals-us-and-why-its-a-gift-to-the-world/, accessed 4 January 2021.
Being expressed, healed, and seen is actually a service to humanity. A gift to the world.
When we are expressed, we become who we truly are.
When we are healed, we become better versions of ourselves.
When we are seen, our truth and goodness shine in the world.
And when we express, heal and shine, we help other to do the same. This is big. Really big.

Why Israel still shuts Wagner outSince its establishment in 1948, Wagner’s music has customarily not been played in Israel’s opera houses and concerts halls due to Wagner’s anti-Semitism. Terry Teachout writes: “The case of Israel is, of course, unique. I don’t think that Wagner’s anti-Semitism would justify removing his works from the repertoire of, say, the Seattle Opera or […]
A task no longer“Set me a task in which I can put something of my very self, and it is a task no longer. It is joy and art.” -Carman Bliss, Canadian Poet Cited at QuotationsBook
Stokowski playing Bach on the organStewart Warkov, assistant manager of the Symphony of The Air in 1961 described Stokowski playing Bach on the organ: Stokowski played Bach on the organ for me, each time one of the great pieces he had arranged.

Don’t loaf and invite inspirationDon’t dash off a six-thousand-word story before breakfast. Don’t write too much. Concentrate your sweat on one story, rather than dissipate it over a dozen. Don’t loaf and invite inspiration; light out after it with a club, and if you don’t get it you will none the less get something that looks remarkably like it. […]
Escaping the every day world“Those around me refuse to accept that I could never live in the everyday world of things and people. Hence the irrepressible need to have to escape from myself, and go off on adventures which seem inexplicable because no one knows who this man is – yet maybe he’s the best part of me! Anyway, […]
