“In my dark hours, I have the certain feeling that everything outside this one thing has no meaning. The complex and many faceted only confuses me and I must search for unity. What is it, this one thing and how do I find my way to it? Traces of this perfect thing appear in many guises and everything that is unimportant falls away…Here I am alone with silence. I have discovered that it is enough when a single note is beautifully played. This one note, or a silent beat,or a moment of silence, comforts me”
