“I think of music a lot when I paint. The theme of it to a degree is music. So instead of literally putting in music or literally putting in a musical instrument, I use only a hint of the instrument, but the brocaded pattern is like a line of Bach because of its order and the leaves going up are like passages from Vivaldi, and the emphasis on drapery is where the sound comes.” ThinkingUseOrderSoundLinesDegreesInstrumentsPaintMusicalPatternsThemePassagesEmphasisHintsMusical InstrumentsVivaldi Author:Nelson Shanks
“There are a lot of similarities between music and surfing. There's a rhythm to both of them and with sound waves and ocean waves, you see patterns, plus the breathing is all part of it.” SoundOceanWavePatternsRhythmBreathingPlusSurfingSimilarityOcean WaveSound Waves Author:Jon Foreman
“Our physical senses and our embodied brains allow us to perceive only a small fraction of reality. We cannot see microbes or untraviolet light, for example. We can hear only a small range of sounds. When we try to describe the otherworld of energies and spirits, we are limited not only by our bodily constraints but by the expectations, assumptions, and language patterns ingrained in us by the culture we were raised in.” TryingRealityLightSpiritCultureEnergyLanguageSoundBrainExampleExpectationsRaisedPatternsSensesRangePerceiveAssumptionConstraintsPaganismFractionsMicrobes Author:Starhawk
“Just the way sound creates visible waves as it travels through a droplet of water, our "belief waves" ripple through the quantum fabric of the universe to become our bodies and the healing, abundance, and peace-or disease, lack, and suffering-that we experience in life. And just the way we can tune a sound to change its patterns, we can tune our beliefs to preserve or destroy all that we cherish, including life itself.” WayBodySufferingUniverseBeliefPeaceSoundWaterHealingDiseaseIncludingWavePatternsPreservesAbundanceVisibleTunesCherishQuantumFabricRippleDroplets Author:Gregg Braden
