Facets of a Diamond - Blog

A thing may be mysterious – and at a deep level every thing is. But a mysterious thing, however mysterious, is not the Mystery.

And no thing is more mysterious than Music. So mysterious, so very mysterious. Its essence, thankfully, forever beyond the assaults of the musicologist.

And although of itself not the Mystery, it is a wondrous intimation.

The path to Wisdom, to the acceptance of the Mystery, is to surrender, totally, to Music. From the mysterious to the Mystery.

Perhaps the Sage is he who no longer needs Music.
