We choose the instruments, And we step into presence and play, And we ask, What wants to be expressed here? What sounds and what song exists here, Arises here in relationship between me and this instrument? What wants to be expressed here? And then I follow that. I trust that. Once we have the beat, I do not create a plan. I step into presence and play, And I ask, What wants to be expressed here? What arises within this relationship between me and these sounds? And then I honor and trust what arises. I find it. I find it. I see it. I believe it. I don't own it, But I love it. Yes, I love it. I don't own you, But I love you. I don't know you, But I want to.
