“Don’t only practice your art, but force your way into it’s secrets, for it and knowledge can raise men to the Divine.”
– Ludwig van Beethoven
Beethoven’s words really touch my soul. Perhaps it is no surprise that my children love music. I live to be creative, especially with music. Music fills my soul. It gives me hope, cleanses my direction, and feeds my aspirations. So on this Arts Thursday, spend a few minutes listening to an interpretation of Beethoven (below) and let the reverence and hope wash your frustrations and fears and provide a moment of peace.
