Resonant Thoughts: Errollyn Wallen’s “Becoming A Composer” (2023)

“Trick yourself or be forced into writing something very fast and you will see just how quickly you become an animal. All nerve endings and responses, ears on wire stalks.
You know it all already.”

“Intuition is an awareness of patterns, above and below the surface, seen and unseen, heard and unheard. For me, the act of intuiting can involve doing nothing–listening, waiting […] and just being alive to the moment. It is the mental leap that takes us out of ourselves, allowing us to connect to atavistic principles and to a collective unconscious. When a work is completed, however, amnesia sets in and I forget the details of the intuitive process.”

  1. Thank you for introducing me to Errolyn Wallen. I just called my local bookstore and ordered her book. “Intuition is an awareness of patterns, above and below the surface, seen and unseen, heard and unheard.” Again…thank you Thomas…you always inspire me.

    1. Glad you found the book! Thanks for reading.

      1. They just called to tell me It actually comes out in 2024. Alas…I will have to wait. Thank you for your brilliance Thomas.
