some thoughts

I play ancient Persian classical songs that are in a language I don't really speak but love the way it sounds the instrumental sounds I hear in it my soul shines when I mimic it. I could play Indian classical music from a part of the world I'd never seen with my own eyes, but I know some part of it reaches to the core of my soul and makes me feel comfort and meditation, peace and harmony, love and laughter. Some people don't realize that the masters of music were the ancients who invented it! I happened to look into it so deeply that I'd let go of simpler forms of music, gone onto things that challenge my mind, and I find the finest music in the world are done by truly passionate and beautiful people. People who'd never do petty things, they'd just as much made music to reflect honestly the kindness of their spirits, the values of their morals, as they do in their day to day lives, the way they interact with everyone. The real heroes of the music world are super cool people who resonate beautiful energy you can't help but love. They are honest with what they say in their songs, they're honest with what they experience in their music, while the music is entertaining to listen to, entertainment is not of their concern, it's just what happens when they enter the stream of energy that flows in the universe, bringing a sentiment that blesses people's hearts with harmony and peace. I find the men and women who do music that I admire the most are also very good people, people who'd never once stolen money from a friend, live by a very ancient honor code personally and without knowing it, are just good people, it shows in the music they play, I don't listen to music done by mean spirits, I don't listen to music done by people who're wife beaters, drug addicts that would sell their mother for a hit, I don't listen to people who hurt their souls to gain inspiration to play music, I don't listen to musicians who dishonor themselves by playing music that doesn't relate to what's inside their hearts, what they love to play, what the people who love listening to them like to hear, it's a relationship with the world, and a harmony we musicians all seek to give to someone, somehow. To conjoin the world in love and harmony, creating a message that can be in everyone's home,something the whole world can love and appreciate, be considered as required listening in colleges around the world, that's a dream come true for all musicians of the world of all ages all walks of life. We all create music to be a focal point of love, and inspiring everyone to rejoice together with love, dance, music, food, drink, and good herbs! We're meant to be part of the world, we are just as important as everyone who comes to our shows. We all look at the the many heads in our audiences, we watch them enjoy us play, and it's a feeling unlike any other, especially if a stranger comes up, and watches with a big warm appreciation coming from every part of that person. It's a joy i need to feel right with the universe, something I need to do as a performer, I was born to perform, I need my people! Everyone who comes to my shows, everyone who plays with me, could potentially be a future member of my family. Because I have no brothers or sisters, my father's been way out of touch from my life, and intentionally, my mother and wife are all the family who's really involved in my life, so I adopt people to be my brothers and sisters. Not all of them wanna be adopted, but they know I won't ever hurt them and always will show them love when I see them. I do with all those who really want to be part of my family. Those who I have in my family treat me like family. And I benefit from it emotionally to know I know such great people.
