Wherever you are - be all there.
What you do today can improve all your tomorrows.
Problems are not stop signs, they are guidelines.
The dog that trots about finds a bone.
Know or listen to those who know.
Either you run the day or the day runs you.
Who seeks shall find.
By failing to prepare, you are preparing to fail.
Be thine own palace, or the world's thy jail.
Be kind whenever possible. It is always possible.
Certain kinds of speed, flow, intensity, density of attacks, density of interaction... Music that concentrates on those qualities is, I think, easier achieved by free improvisation between people sharing a common attitude, a common language.
