“The idea of safety had shrunk into particles - one snug moment, then the next. Meanwhile, the brain piped fugues of worry and staged mind-theaters full of tragedies and triumphs, because unfortunately, the fear of death does wonders to focus the mind, inspire creativity, and heightens the senses.

Being creative is their job.” FeelsDoeJobsCreativityCreativeTeacherStageGoes OnMoonMusicianJazzMoodDependentPhasesBe CreativeJazz MusicGreat TeacherJazz MusicianPhases Of The Moon Author:John Kao
