The music comes first. When Geoff has made something the inspiration comes automatically. His music is very expressive. But still is is a very difficult process. I have to add something to his music, not push it away. It has to be equal, and I find that very difficult. ~Beth Gibbons

There is a very simple secret to being happy. Just let go of your "demand" on this moment. Any time you have a demand on the moment to give you something or remove something, there is suffering. You are arguing with "what is." Your demands keep you chained to the "dream state" of the conditioned mind. The desire to "control" is, ultimately, our unwillingness to just be awake. ~Adyashanti

True celebration should come from your life, in your life. And true celebration cannot be according to the calendar, that on the first of November you will celebrate. Strange, the whole year you are miserable and on the first of November suddenly you come out of misery, dancing. Either, the misery is false, or the first of November is false; both cannot be true. And once the first of November has gone, you are back in your dark hole, everybody in his misery, everybody in his anxiety. ~Rajneesh
