I believe that we are improvisers, that our characters are to be found in improvisation. Or rather, our character is improvisation. Our daily life is improvised. And although everything in its totality is improvised and may seem capricious (Schopenhauer perhaps), it is possible to improve this improvisation. It is possible to do this because improvisation is improvised. It is in its self-nature.
Do not dwell on things, because you can not dwell on things. You have never dwelt on things. You have never thought things through, because you are already through things, moving beyond things, improvising on things, laughing and crying with total lack of self-regard.
My guitar teacher used to say to me that composition is something rather different from improvisation. I used to disagree and think that musicians improvised a lot and therefore, as an end result, compositions came to them through this improvisation. This is a wrong way of seeing things: thoughts and compositions, and control in general, are things through which improvisation improvises. They are the use of improvisation, but improvisation is the Lord, our Shepherd.
(Hui-neng: "Hsing [i.e. the kernel of life, in a way] is the lord. The lord rules over the dominion...")
Aha! one last improvised comment from Einstein:
"The lord is subtle, but malicious he is not."
