The Secrets of the Art

Here's some inspiration for you today:
"Don't only practice your art, but force your way into its secrets, for it and knowledge can raise men to the divine."
-Ludwig Van Beethoven

All art strives for the same end. To cross the void between solitary minds. To reach out and touch another human soul. Day after day, I find myself staring at the page, asking, how does it feel deep inside? And how do I invoke that feeling with nothing but words? How do I make what is in me echo in another heart?

For that is the secret of the art.

What secrets are you searching for?

  2. PianoGuys are the best! They are coming to BYU Hawaii next weekend and I have tickets for the whole family!

    If one of my books ever gets made into a movie, I want them to do the soundtrack.
