A dedicated journal of inspirations, articles, videos, and anything else that I find thought provoking...
"Our task must be to free ourselves...by widening our circle of compassion to embrace all living creatures and the whole of nature and its beauty."
Jascha Heifetz
For 83 of his 86 years, Jascha Heifetz (1901-1987) played the violin, and for over 60 of them in front of audiences the length and breadth of the world. He is universally regarded as the greatest violinist of the 20th century.
Asked about child prodigies, Heifetz said, "You know, child prodigism - if I may coin a word - is a disease which is generally fatal. I was among the few to have the good fortune to survive. But I had the advantage of a great teacher in Professor Auer and a family that instinctively had a high regard for music, very good taste and a horror of mediocrity."
Parvati says: "Dexterity runs in our family."
