"At such times there is a song going on within us, a song to which we listen. It fills us with surprise. We marvel at it. We wouild continue to hear it. But few are capable of holding themselves in the state of listening to their own song. Intellectuality steps in and as the song within us is of the utmost sensitiveness, it retires in the presence of the cold, material intellect. It is aristocratic and will not associate itself with the commonplace - and we fall back and become our ordinary selves. Yet we live in the memory of these songs which in moments of intellectual inadvertence have been possible to us. They are the pinnacles of our experience and it is the deisre to express these intimate sensations, this song from within, which motivates the masters of all art."
-Robert Henri
"its that unresolved conflict within us
that gives us the spark.
mix in a little humanity . . .
with a little bit of light . .
a little bit of love . .
and you have a song.
the choice is whether to sing it or not I suppose. "

Hi Rodney - oh man, what a voice you have, I caught myself feeling that nothing could go wrong as long as you kept singing; very touching songs. I guess "Avalon" is my fave. Have a great day in life, Rune :-)
