The Magic of the Cities.
Zen promotes the rediscovery of the obvious, which is so often lost in its familiarity and simplicity. It sees the miraculous in the common and magic in our everyday surroundings. When we are not rushed, and our minds are unclouded by conceptualizations, a veil will sometimes drop, introducing the viewer to a world unseen since childhood. ~ John Greer

Jazz
is there and gone. It happens. You have to be present for it. That simple.
If you already have a piece of music ingrained in your
body, why would you not play it?
We accept so many things that come through the media; we
get used to them, however vigilant we are. But for any creative art, you have
to remain 110% conscious, and in a world that's losing consciousness, that's
getting harder.

Passing The Hat

Performance
“A good street performing act is like a pilot light. People come to
it, and some time back in their past they put aside the idea that everybody
might be a dancer or an artist or a musician. Everybody has had some such a
dream, but they've put it aside and gone on with their humdrum life. And then
they see the street performer and see that somebody is managing to get away
with it, with life, and managing to live between the cracks. I may never do it
they say, but if somebody’s going to do it, it means my dream is still alive
and maybe one day I'll do it. It’s not too late. And that’s what a street
performer is.”
