so the music isn't some idle decoration
to placate a restless mind?

struggling with the end of this 'octet'
I realise that I have no idea what it means
any more than I understand my prayer . . .
although I do somehow know what it mustn't mean.
(I think)

the question is
can my music shed light on my prayer too?
[ie. can it not work both ways around?]

does the music inform my prayer
and does the neglect of my music hinder my prayer?

self-faith in me reflects in the faith I have in my own music.
faith in you is faith in you . . . .
aren't these different kinds of faith
or do they flow from the same source?
