♬ A prayer I wrote. It's just a still image. I am narrating it in Portuguese, as it is my native language and allows me to express it with more authenticity. The full English translation is available below.
This is a spiritual prayer for musicians, artists, and creators seeking inspiration, presence, and a deeper connection with their art. It reflects on creativity, discipline, expression, and the union between the human and the divine through sound and silence. If this resonates with you, take a moment to listen with attention and openness.
Eternal Source that vibrates before sound and after silence,
May the first spark resound within me, the one that moves the stars and cradles the invisible winds, so that my music is not merely heard, but felt as the living pulse of the universe. May I be a bridge between heaven and earth, between breath and matter, transforming the invisible into audible harmony.
May the notes that arise from me carry the memory of ancient mountains, the whisper of deep rivers, the vastness, depth, and mystery of the sea, and the echo of roots buried in time. May each sound bring with it the simplicity of the countryside and the grandeur of the infinite, uniting the rustic with the sacred, the human with the divine.
May my hands not merely play, but reveal. May my fingers find paths where there was once silence, and may each vibrating string be an extension of my spirit. May the instrument and I become one single sonic body, in perfect attunement, where intention and response merge effortlessly.
May my presence be light as air and firm as the earth, and before any gaze may I remain true. May my music find those who need it, crossing paths, times, and distances, like a call that cannot be explained, only recognized.
May study be ritual, may practice be prayer, may rehearsal be encounter. May I find beauty in repetition and discovery in detail, and may each small step be an expansion of my own inner universe.
May my melodies carry light where there is shadow, warmth where there is emptiness, and direction where there is dispersion. May each piece be a portal, a moment suspended in time, capable of touching that which has no name, yet transforms deeply.
May abundance flow like a tranquil river, sustaining my path with dignity and freedom, without breaking the essence of what is pure. May I live from music as one breathes, with naturalness, surrender, and truth.
And may, in every sound, there be presence. In every pause, awareness. In every vibration, love. May my music be not only expression, but a revelation of what is eternal within me and within all that exists.
May it manifest so, in continuous flow, like the universe itself in expansion.
