“Tho' the world could turn from you, This, at least, I learn from you: Beauty and Truth, tho' never found, are worthy to be sought, The singer, upward-springing, Is grander than his singing, And tranquil self-sufficing joy illumes the dark of thought. This, at least, you teach me, In a revelation: That gods still snatch, as worthy death, the soul in its aspiration.” WorldStillsSoulSelfJoyTurnsFoundDarkTeachSingingWorthySingersAspirationRevelationsTranquil Book:Undertones Source: Undertones

“What takes its place is very dry education. And the tools that actually can teach you - singing and playing, learning how to participate with other people, spiritual richness - are replaced with a big emphasis on how to memorize things. That's such an incomplete education. Survival of the fittest used to mean being bigger and stronger.” PeopleMeanBigsSpiritualUsedTeachSurvivalSingingToolsBiggerStrongerDryReplacedEmphasisRichnessIncompleteSurvival Of The Fittest Author:Wynton Marsalis
“I always wanted to sing, I always loved to sing. As a child I was singing all the time, and my parents were singing all the time, but not the traditional songs because they were very Christian; the Christian Sámis learnt from the missionaries and the priests that the traditional songs were from the Devil, so they didn't teach them to their children, but they were singing the Christian hymns all the time. So I think I got my musical education in this way. And of course the traditional songs were always under the hymns, because it doesn't just disappear, the traditional way of singing.” ThinkingWayChildrenWantedChristianSongCoursesParentTeachSingingDevilMusicalDisappearTraditionalPriestsHymnsMusical Education Author:Mari Boine
“A dog — a dog teaches us so much about love. Wordless, imperfect love; love that is constant, love that is simple goodness, love that forgives not only bad singing and embarrassments, but misunderstandings and harsh words. Love that sits and stays and stays and stays, until it finally becomes its own forever. Love, stronger than death. A dog is a four-legged reminder that love comes and time passes and then your heart breaks.” HeartSimpleTeachBreakForeverFourDogGoodnessSingingStrongerForgivingConstantImperfectHarshMisunderstandingRemindersEmbarrassmentHeart BreakTime PassesForever LoveWords LoveHarsh WordsConstant Love Author:Deb Caletti
