For a master, the rewards gained along the way are fine, but they are not the main reason for the journey. Ultimately the master and the master's path are one. And if the traveler is fortunate - that is, if the path is complex and profound enough - the destination is two miles farther away for every mile he or she travels.

It's easy to get on the path of mastery. The real challenge lies in staying on it.

At the root of all power and motion, there is music and rhythm, the play of patterned frequencies against the matrix of time, Before we make music, music makes us.

Not to dream more boldly may turn out to be, in view of present realities, simply irresponsible.

Perhaps we'll never know how far the path can go, how much a human being can truly achieve, until we realize that the ultimate reward is not a gold medal but the path itself.

Ultimately, human intentionality is the most powerful evolutionary force on this planet.

What if you're practicing wrong? Then you get very good at doing something wrong.
