Been showing some love to my music. My next music project is almost off the ground. Getting all my writing together and finding an agent is another thing. Making ends meet and making other ends meet drives me to want to go to the airport and buy a ticket to anywhere. Ramble in some place I have never been and don't know anyone. Yet my creative tasks currently soothe my soul.
I still love this quote....
Once someone learning archery faced the target holding two arrows. The teacher said, "Beginners should not hold two arrows, because counting on the second arrow results in carelessness with the first. Each time, determine that you will settle the matter with this one arrow, with out worry about whether or not you will succeed."
This admonition should be applied to everything. When people practice an art, they always think they will have another chance to try again. , so they are not aware of the slackness of their own minds at the moment. It is very difficult to work in the immediacy of the moment.
