“All Art is a gift of the Holy Spirit. When this light shines through the mind of a musician, it manifests itself in beautiful harmonies. Again, shining through the mind of a poet, it is seen in fine poetry and poetic prose. When the Light of the Sun of Truth inspires the mind of a painter, he produces marvellous pictures. These gifts are fulfilling their highest purpose, when showing forth the praise of God.” MindArtLightBeautifulSpiritPurposeSunProduceInspirePoetFineHolyHighestMusicianArt IsPraiseHarmonyShiningPainterHoly SpiritProsePoeticFulfillingMarvellousShining Through Author:Abdu'l-Bahá
“My short answer would be that there is no greatest jazz musician of the century.

“We musicians, like everyone else, are numb with sorrow at this murder, and with rage at the senselessness of the crime. But this sorrow and rage will not inflame us to seek retribution; rather they will inflame our art. Our music will never again be quite the same. This will be our reply to violence: to make music more intensely, more beautifully, more devotedly than ever before. And with each note we will honor the spirit of John Kennedy, commemorate his courage, and reaffirm his faith in the Triumph of the Mind.” MindArtSpiritViolenceCrimeHonorSorrowMusicianMurderNotesRageTriumphNumbRetributionJohn KennedySenselessness Author:Leonard Bernstein
“What's totally terrifying is that, unlike a musician who has a musical instrument, or a painter that's got a canvas and a brush, acting is us. Our energy, our soul, our spirits.

“Look at the great athletes, musician, artists, and writers. They all tap into a source. Some call that source God or soul or spirit or consciousness. The Seven Faces of Intention: creativity, kindness, love, beauty, expansion, abundance, and receptivity. And all seven are expressions of what I imagine that source to look like. The very fact that we exist is proof to me that the nature of that source is creative at its core. And there isn't a person reading this who does not have a gnawing sense inside that there's something they're here to do, something creative.” SoulSpiritArtistReadingLove IsConsciousnessCreativityKindnessCreativeImagineMusicianIntentionSevenAthleteAbundanceImagine ThatGreat AthleteReceptivity Author:Wayne Dyer
