People desire to separate their worlds into polarities of dark and light ugly and beautiful good and evil right and wrong inside and outside. Polarities serve us in our learning and growth but as souls we are all.

Composing gives me a chance to work in multiple dimensions and helps me pare down my melodies into what is essential. Learning new skills has always energized me and scoring has opened up a world of sonic possibilities.

I have often thought of it as one of the most barbarous customs in the world considering us as a civilized and a Christian country that we deny the advantages of learning to women.

We must all learn a good lesson - how to live together. That is the new challenge of the new world... learning to co-exist and not co-annihilate.

The United States is the most innovative country in the world. But our leadership could slip away if we fail to properly fund primary secondary and higher education.

For centuries America has led the world on a long march toward freedom and democracy. Let's reclaim our clean energy leadership and lead the world toward clean energy independence.
