I am realising more these days how my spiritual fulfillment comes from my family life as well as my music.
Having both is a very fortunate situation. It is amazing how one fills in holes that the other leaves or one
strengthens and clarifies the other. The amazing feeling of hearing one of my groups play a composition for
the first time is so similar in some ways to wrestling on the bed with my older son or making our new baby
laugh.
I think I understand artists (more so now) who have religious inclinations, or people who fight for certain causes with or
in addtion to the art that they make. It is about a fulfilling experience with our time on earth.
