Whenever you find yourself on the side of the majority, it's time to pause and reflect.

Just Being At the Piano
By: Mildred Chase
Just being at the piano--egoless--is to reach the place where the only thing that exists is the sound and the moving toward the sound. The music on the page that was outside of you is now within you, and moves through you; you are a channel for the music, and play from the center of your being. Everything that you have consciously learned, all of your knowledge emanates from within you. There is a sense of oneness in which the heart of the musician and the heart of the composer meet, in which there is no room for self-conscious thought. You are one with yourself and the act, and feel as if playing has already happened and you are effortlessly releasing it. The music is in your hands, in the air, in the room, the music is everywhere, and the whole universe is contained in the experience of playing.--Mildred Chase, from 365 Nirvana, Here and Now by Josh Baran
