Changing is not just changing the things outside of us. First of all we need the right view that transcends all notions including of being and non-being, creator and creature, mind and spirit. That kind of insight is crucial for transformation and healing.

Change is an internal thing. Different things happen or transform, and music and art is a documentation of that.

Art is not supposed to change the world, to change practical things, but to change perceptions. Art can change the way we see the world. Art can create an analogy.

Only through art can we emerge from ourselves and know what another person sees.

We don't change what we are, we change what we think what we are.

To become different from what we are, we must have some awareness of what we are.

What we see changes who we are.

Changes in our aesthetic tastes have no value or meaning in and of themselves; what has value and meaning is the idea of change itself. Or, better stated: not change in and of itself, but change as an agent or inspiration of modern creations.

Buddhism teaches you to embrace change.

The understanding of art depends finally upon one's willingness to extend one's humanity and one's knowledge of human life.
