“Playing the guitar is like telling the truth
– you never have to worry about repeating the same [lie]
if you told the truth.
You don’t have to pretend, or cover up.
If someone asks you again,
you don’t have to think about it or worry about it
because there it is.
It’s you.”

Without courage
we cannot practice
any other virtue
with consistency.
We can’t be kind,
true,
merciful,
generous,
or
honest.

Resonance between two individuals

their pause, is lush, palpable
