The incredible power of SILENCE...

Re-discovering, again and again, the enormous power of SILENCE.

Coming from someone who lives with music 24 hours per day (both in my work and personal life), this statement is kind of bold and yet so heartfelt:

When there's nothing left to say (nothing that MATTERS) and all expectations are gone, a warm silence arises from the heart speaking what regular words could not ever express...

I am being blessed in that state of SILENCE.

Tonight, in the middle of another series of shows with my orchestra, there will be an immense SILENCE inside me, no matter how loud the music is and how many people surround me.

I guess this is a blessing...
