We rob ourselves of so much by focusing on the wrong stuff. And the ability to get into the moment and deal with what is, that's the real opportunity.
There's nothing more fun than sitting in a circle playing with people who are really into it.
Whenever someone leaves, the next person that gets pulled in is somebody with similar values.

I jump into the process, and the record begins to gel at some point. Then I begin to get a picture of where I'm going. But it's not always something I know on the front-end.
