ABOUT

-Yehudi Menuhin; In the Foreward to "The Art of Practice" by Madeline Bruser 1999

"...More and more we realize that practicing is not forced labor; more and more we realize that it is a refined art that partakes of intuition, of inspiration, patience, elegance, clarity, balance, and above all, the search for ever greater joy in movement and expression. This is what practice is really about. Too many generations have been twisted into slavery and suffered the consequences of frustration, all manner of aches and pains, physical and spiritual, as well as mental depression..."

"Even after all this time the sun never says to the earth, 'You owe me'.
Look what happens with love like that, it lights the whole sky."
-Hafiz (a Persian mystic and poet, born sometime between the years 1310 and 1337 in Shiraz, Medieval Persia.)
