Don’t only practice your art,
but force your way into its secrets;
art deserves that,
for it and knowledge
can raise man to the Devine.
…… Ludwig van Beethoven
What was Beethoven’s greatest secret?
His most prominent secret that he desperately tried to keep from the public and that caused him to be considered extremely eccentric, irritable, and hermit-like was his “weakness.” He was deaf during most of his life. Imagine that…
Wise words and thanks for using my Dad’s drawing!

We need to learn more naturally, without overbearing top-down instruction and coercion. Our learning should be deeper and much more creative.
