Any expressionism was squelched by my quest for precision.

Ah... perfectionism and music ... i do understand this. they don't always go well together.

Happiness cannot be found
through great effort and willpower,

in open relaxation and letting go.
Don't strain yourself,
there is nothing to do or undo.
Whatever momentarily arises
in the body-mind
Has no real importance at all,
has little reality whatsoever.
Don't believe in the reality
of good and bad experiences;
they are today's ephemeral weather,
like rainbows in the sky.
