Setiap kedipan mata telah mengajarkan, gelap dan terang terus berganti. Bahkan pagi mengajarkan dengan setia, bahwa selalu ada terang di ujung kelam. Nafas silih berganti mengajarkan, seperti juga susah dan senang, ia selalu datang dan pergi.
Maka, kita tahu bahwa semua hanya berakhir, ketika mata telah tak berkedip, ketika pagi tak ada dan nafas berhenti.

quote
Does it matter that what you’ve achieved, with your online special and your tour can’t be replicated by other performers who don’t have the visibility or fan base that you do?
Why do you think those people don’t have the same resources that I have, the same visibility or relationship? What’s different between me and them?
You have the platform. You have the level of recognition.
So why do I have the platform and the recognition?
At this point you’ve put in the time.
There you go. There’s no way around that. There’s people that say: “It’s not fair. You have all that stuff.” I wasn’t born with it. It was a horrible process to get to this. It took me my whole life. If you’re new at this — and by “new at it,” I mean 15 years in, or even 20 — you’re just starting to get traction. Young musicians believe they should be able to throw a band together and be famous, and anything that’s in their way is unfair and evil. What are you, in your 20s, you picked up a guitar? Give it a minute.

When Love Arrives - Sarah Kay & Phil Kaye

If I asked what love is, most people would immediately have an answer. Their confidence in believing that they ‘know’ what love is becomes their hindrance in accessing a greater dimension of love.
Some would define love to be what I now understand is lust.
Some would define love to be what I now understand is dependency.
Some would define love to be what I now understand is the desire to leave a legacy.
Some would define love to be what I now understand is identification.
Some would define love to be what I now understand is validation and acceptance.
The above definitions all are aspects of love but they are smaller portions in a larger dimension awaiting discovery. This higher dimension is not available to us as long we have rigid definitions of what love is.
I think we all need to experience sort of things until we meet the one. Naïve, I know. But you will know that this person is the one, of course after experiencing the one you thought was The One. It’ll bring you to another dimension; one frequency, one brainwave, one breed, or whatever. Just stop questioning, resisting, and stop seeking. The best things in life come unexpected, because there were no expectations. So stop being so hateful towards love or relationship (I’ve been there believe me) Good things happen when you least expected, so does love.

I’m basically feeling that art isn’t hard
what’s hard is your heart
and it starts in the past, but the past’s in the past
so love who you are
pass a rush of blood till your arteries blast
and let the blood rush to your arm and let your artistry start
