“I am always tuning my orchestra. Somewhere deep inside there is a sound that is mine alone, and I struggle daily to hear it and tune my life to it. Sometimes there are people and situations that help me to hear my note more clearly; other times, people and situations make it harder for me to hear. A lot depends on my commitment to listening and my intention to stay coherent with this note. It is only when my life is tuned to my note that I can play life’s mysterious and holy music without tainting it with my own discordance, my own bitterness, resentment, agendas, and fears.”
“I am always tuning my orchestra.”
“Somewhere deep inside there is a sound that is mine alone.”
“I struggle daily to hear it and tune my life to it.”
I commit to listen for my sound today. To write, to observe, to listen.

Just want to say I really like this…I’ve stopped here several times just to remind myself to “listen and tune.” While so important for a writer , it is in fact, important for us all.
