The absolute transformation of everything that we ever thought about music will take place within 10 years, and nothing is going to be able to stop it.

Each morning is a new beginning of our life. Each day is a finished whole. The present day marks the boundary of our cares and concerns. It is long enough to find God or loose Him, to keep faith or fall into disgrace.God created day and night for us so we need not wander without boundaries, but may be able to see in every morning the goal of the evening ahead.Just as the ancient sun rises anew everyday, so the eternal mercy of God is new every morning.Every morning God gives us the gift of comprehending anew His faithfulness of old; thus in the midst of our life with God, we may daily begin a new life with Him.In the first moments of the new day are for God's liberating grace, God's sanctifying presence. Before the heart unlocks itself for the world, God wants to open it for Himself; before the ear takes in the countless voices of the day, it should hear in the early hours the voice of the Creator and Redeemer.God prepared the stillness of the first morning for Himself. It should remain His.

Dietrich Bonhoeffer
