Those who love life are tolerant of its ups and downs, its reversals and leaps forward.
Those who love life, enjoy playing it by ear, engaging life without a printed score, simply flowing with its melody.
By keeping our agendas flexible and minimizing our demands, life can be a melodic song.
Whenever circumstances interrupt the normal rhythm of life,
those who cultivate patience and inner freedom are able to improvise with a life situation like jazz musicians,
making up music as they go along.
The emphasis in playing it by ear is on playfulness.
