CENTER OF LEARNING
Filed under: General
Posted by: @ 10:29 am

That which cannot be touched by force—Love, Intelligence,
Compassion—forms together the basic triangle at the center

they are best approached negatively, by taking away the
blocks that are in the way.

The task is clear: perfectly tuned octaves, fourths and fifths
you leave alone; what you go after are the broken strings.
