Probably we all hold within us, more or less, the full range of views =
so far expressed.
Right-wrong, good-evil, black-white: it is sometimes convenient to =
retreat to a position of apparent certainty.

A great shakuhachi teacher once told me that, to play shakuhachi, one =
must learn to be comfortable with uncertainty . There is no good or bad =
sound, right or wrong way to play. Some notes, in particular, are very =
mysterious and are characterised by a high degree of uncertainty. They =
cannot be defined by scientific parameters such a pitch, but rather by =
feeling.

Learn to accept the uncertainty of not knowing.
Just Maybe.

Andrew
