Mountain Quotes

I give myself the luxury of time in shaping a song. It's very common for me to work three months or more on a single song. Plotting takes time and effort, for there are many false turns. I fill up pages and pages with my mistakes, thereby eliminating them. Eventually a trail is broken through this mountain of mistakes. Sometimes it's as easy as putting eggs in a basket; other times it's like trying to pound a ton of sand into a diamond.

A visible darkness grows up mountain paths;I lodge by the river gate high in a study,Frail cloud on a cliff edge passing the night.The lonely moon topples amid the waves;Steady, one after another, a line of cranes in flight.Howling over the kill, wild dogs and wolves.No sleep for me. I worry over battles-I have no strength to right the universe.
