The Symphony Within:

Air bender and master builder

I flow with ease.

An easy, airy, wonderful, and carefree energy has always filled my heart and soul with sound and words. To my delight, it has never failed to keep me grounded when I am in need.

Through every turmoil in my life, this energy has always been my anchor and my relief. The belief that I do not own any of this, and that my only duty is to keep myself an open vessel for whatever wants to flow through me, is probably the most beautiful thing I have ever come to understand while walking down this road of life as an artist.

For who am I but an instrument, like a flute which, without the air that blows through it, is nothing but a piece of wood? Without vibration, there is no sound. If I can vibrate, I am sound. If my emotions are the vibration, I sound and if the sound of my soul reflects my thoughts, they become a song. If my song resonates with you, and my vibration meets yours, we create an echo. Our energies multiply, the frequency of feelings and thoughts collide, and through this togetherness, we create a higher vibration.

Air is essential to sound, and the vessel it streams through defines the quality of the sound that is created.

The artist is the instrument builder, not the air. The elements we choose might be diverse: wood, metal, stone, pen, paint, and color, word or song. We might need more than one in our lives to express and create the symphony that wants to come to life through us. Choose what is yours, or follow the call of what chooses you, and carefully build your instrument.

Let the air of creativity flow through you, enjoy the gentle breeze, and let yourself simply be. And if, instead, it is a storm—a hurricane of experiences, thunder and lightning carrying emotion-loaded momentum— we need to transform, to liberate ourselves and release through our arts?

Well, trust that the instrument you have built is crafted thoughtfully and with care, and that your vibration will echo in someone else’s soul, so that nobody is ever alone.

Souls sound infinitely.
