Trying to describe the process of becoming an alcoholic is like trying to describe air. It's too big and mysterious and pervasive to be defined. Alcohol is everywhere in your life, omnipresent, and you're both aware and unaware of it almost all the time, all you know is you'd die without it, and there is no simple reason why this happens, no single moment, no physiological event that pushes a heavy drinker across a concrete line into alcoholism. It's a slow, gradual, insidious, elusive becoming.

In the moments as they pass, he dimly sees eternity, and more than this, he possesses it by anticipation.

Art, and, above all, music, has a fundamental function, which is to catalyze the sublimation that it can bring about through all means of expression.

Happiness is created through countless choices made and then made again throughout a lifetime. You are its host as well as its guest. You give it form, shape, individuality, texture, tone. And what it allows you to give can change your world. Happiness can be stillness. But it isn't still. It wraps, enchants, heals, consoles, soothes, delights, calms, inspires and connects. It is on your face and in your body. It is in your life and being.

Writing original songs is much, much harder (I think) because you only have yourself to conjure up EVERY single moment a listener is going to hear.

It's a shot in the dark.
