Folk songs are evasive-the truth about life, and life is more or less a lie, but then again that's exactly the way we want it to be. We wouldn't be comfortable with it any other way. A folk song has over a thousand faces and you must meet them all if you want to play this stuff. A folk song might vary in meaning and it might not appear the same from one moment to the next. It depends on who's playing and who's listening.

In ordinary speech the words perception and sensation tend to be used interchangeably, but the psychologist distinguishes.

Seven' is this kind of nostalgic, emotional folk song.
I think some people are not interesting to themselves. They're the sad, resigned folk.

If prayer stands as the place where God and human beings meet, then I must learn about prayer.

Prayer is the precise point where those themes converge.
