Among all the different arts, the art of music has been especially considered divine, because it is the exact miniature of the law working through the whole universe.
~ from THE MYSTICISM OF SOUND by Hazrat Inayat Khan
Music has a divine message and messenger of life. It was quintessentially the "Quickening art" -- quickening my soul with this my body, so that suddenly, spontaneously, I was quickened into motion, my own perceptual and kinetic melody, quickened into life by the inner life of music. I was carried ahead by the ongoing musical stream.
