Sadness gives depth. Happiness gives height. Sadness gives roots. Happiness gives branches. Happiness is like a tree going into the sky, and sadness is like the roots going down into the womb of the earth. Both are needed, and the higher a tree goes, the deeper it goes, simultaneously. The bigger the tree, the bigger will be its roots. In fact, it is always in proportion. That’s its balance.
Writing is a form of therapy; sometimes I wonder how all those, who do not write, compose, or paint can manage to escape the madness, the melancholia, the panic fear, which is inherent in a human condition
Feelings are much like waves, we can’t stop them from coming but we can choose which one to surf.

Music touches feelings that words cannot. Music has the power to reach directly into the soul of everyone who participates in this experience. It is inspired by feelings and has the power to communicate the emotions better, perhaps, than any other form of communication. It is truly the international language that needs no translation.

You can close your eyes to things you don’t want to see, but you can’t close your heart to things you don’t want to feel.
