While this idea can be used as a muse for artists in many disciplines, in it’s main sense it is a deliberate attempt to find commonality and relation. And while some are drawn to this candle, there are many, perhaps most, who are unaware of the weakly burning flame before them.
Simplicity
Powerful messages can sometimes be told, and sometimes even revealed through simplicity. And why do we yearn for this to be true? Perhaps there is a powerful message there as well.
Unexpected
I have always thought that the greatest gifts are those that are unexpected. But I now also realize that it is more than gifts that benefit from the immensity of possibility, from the randomness that must exist not only in all things, but in all experiences and in all people.
Birds
Descended from some of the most powerful and vicious creatures of the prehistoric world, these creatures now serve another purpose: to provide inspiration to today's most powerful and vicious creatures. Whereas in the past they were bred to invoke terror, they now invoke awe. How could this purpose have changed so dramatically, and what if we too could change?
Michael Hedges
There are many other musicians who can play beautifully, who can evoke a passion that speaks to our hearts. But that is not all of music. Music also speaks to our mind, and to our blood. There are few who ever were able to do that like Michael Hedges did.
Hermann Hesse
