I'm optimistic, and I have a LOT of GOALS. And I obey the laws of NATURE: I eat, exercise, and rest properly. But mostly it's about keeping the mind engaged. My grandmother lived to 104, and she had all of her faculties. I'm physically ACTIVE and devout - just not as Buddhistic as she was.

No one with a BODY FULL of aliments can have a luminous SOUL and other intellectual faculties. It is necessary to CARE for the body if we wish the spirit to function normally.

All the time I was PLAYING the flute, the lines, the solos, the riffs, the construction, were based on my guitar SKILLS. I did not play the flute to exploit its NATURAL faculties, but I used it as a surrogate guitar.

It's a DAILY miracle to see a child grow and develop all the senses and language and SPEECH and faculties, and they're so much fun and they're so DELIGHTFUL and they're so innocent. It just stops your heart every TIME; I can't get enough of it.

I WANT to have all of my faculties.
