God
(page 12)
Your talent is God's gift to you. What you do with it is your gift back to God.
We need to find God, and he cannot be found in noise and restlessness. God is the friend of silence. See how nature — trees, flowers, grass- grows in silence; see the stars, the moon and the sun, how they move in silence... We need silence to be able to touch souls.
I am what I am. I love me! And I don't mean that egotistically — I love that God has allowed me to take whatever it was that I had and to make something out of it.
Rocks and waters, etc., are words of God, and so are men. We all flow from one fountain Soul. All are expressions of one Love.
People have to render judgment. In my case, I've said upfront openly, I've made mistakes at times. I've had to go to God for forgiveness. I've had to seek reconciliation. But I'm also a 68-year-old grandfather, and I think people have to measure who I am now and whether I'm a person they can trust.
God gives the nuts, but he does not crack them.
As I'd go out learning to surf, I'd feel the power of waves coming over my body. It's like you're with God.
God's mercy and grace give me hope — for myself, and for our world.
In essence, String Theory describes space and time, matter and energy, gravity and light, indeed all of God's creation... as music.
God's the final judge for Elvis Presley and Johnny Cash too. That's solely in the hands of God.
Love is love, and a lot of times, people might be in the situation they're in because they put barriers up. Like, some people only want to date a model or an actor or an athlete. You're only limiting yourself. Open up to what's out there because God made us all.
I am composing like a god, as if it simply had to be done as it has been done.
