• I'm no longer beholden to the sacredness of the recorded song as some kind of ultimate standard by which every performance of the song is measured.

• In the yoga sutras, they have this beautiful analogy that the journey of life is like the flight of an eagle, or the journey over multiple lifetimes is like a flight of an eagle.

It's growing and flying and it's experiencing, and then it brings its wings down gracefully and that is the completion of the journey.

• I think it's necessary to evaluate a skyscraper at multiple scales, since that's how we experience it: from right next to it on the street to from across the river, as well as at all kinds of points in between.
