"One of the fundamental things that we know about our Universe is that everything in it is vibrating, is in motion, and has rhythm. Every molecule, every atom is dancing its own unique dance, singing its signature song. In the beginning there was noise, and noise begat rhythm, and rhythm begat everything else. This is a kind of cosmology that a drummer can live with. Spirit Drumming is like an organic compulsion to translate the emotional fact of being alive into sound, into rhythm and into something you can dance to. This excitement we feel, when we hear it, tells us that the door into other realms is opening." ~ Mickey Hart
“Follow your bliss and the universe will open doors where there were only walls.”
~ Joseph Campbell
"Music is nothing less than the picture of our Beloved, and our Beloved is that which is our source and our goal. If we could only listen to the voice of all the beauty that attracts us in any form, we would find that in every aspect it tells us that behind all manifestation is the perfect Spirit, the spirit of wisdom. Music inspires the soul and is the language of beauty." ~ Sufi Inayat Kahn
"We are all pioneers, but very few of us have taken the time or seized the opportunity to see for ourselves what lies just beyond or just behind the familiar world. After all, life is not about being a marketplace conquistador who has misinterpreted the meaning of abundance and is willing to sacrifice others for commercial gain, any more than it is about running off to the mountains and shaking rattles, beating drums and imitating Indians." ~ Eric Jendresen
In Rhythm,
Jahmahn
