What a fantastic performance! It was truly moving with layers and layers of symbolic personas and the philosophical undertow. Mozart died around 10 weeks after writing the Magic Flute. Maybe I attended this opera in the nick of time!

(With fever and chills)
After all the inept pointless comments you've received during a recent discussion over PETTY matters, it is you and the cup of tea and the universe of beautiful things that will embrace you. As long as you stand by your rationale and maintain an open-minded attitude and do not let dogma take over, these encounters will strengthen your personality. It is you and the discipline inside that you decide the winner, not them and their agenda. This is a nice study in tolerance and being receptive.
In the end, you remain and your mind, intellect, ego, and memory. You remain and your subtle body.

Very sad news. Pat Martino, the legendary jazz guitarist, was a musician I discovered when I was fervently exploring the realms of jazz guitar. The first album I listened to was the 1972 "The Visit". Afterward, I listened to 1968 "East" and then the 1974 "Consciousness".
His masterful music always absorbed my attention. The key event that made his career more intriguing is the brain injury that led to his amnesia. The memory loss forced Mr. Martino to re-learn all his previous music. This was an uphill battle but boy how fruitful and inspiring all this endeavor turned out to be.
Rest in peace!
