I know it has been quite a while since you posted this, but to be honest, I have left this tab open and read through several sections fairly regularly referencing this as if this is a spiritual guide and I am doing 'Daily Affirmations' ;-)

I thought you ought to hear how deeply insightful and inspiring this writing is to me as a musician, and only my finding the right words as of late prevented me from earlier expressing my gratitude to you for writing this!
