Essa Coletânea de Contos Zen vem nos mostrar que quanto mais aprendemos, mais crescemos, mais expandimos a nossa consciência e, aos poucos, vamos nos libertando desse aprisionamento e tendo mais liberdade de voar pelo espaço e pelo tempo. O que é o tempo? O tempo é como um círculo: não tem início, meio e fim, não tem passado, presente e futuro, tudo é hoje. Muitas vidas vividas, poucas lembranças, outras dimensões... A evolução da alma sai das nossas ações de todo dia, de nossos pensamentos, tudo é uma sincronia, tudo é Luz, tudo é Deus, tudo é energia, tudo é criação, tudo é harmonia. O Universo é o próprio som, como a batida do seu coração, é uma vibração cósmica e com frequência harmônica. A energia, a consciência expandida é o que somos, o Eu superior.

"Considero minhas obras como cartas que escrevi à posteridade sem esperar resposta." HEITOR VILLA-LOBOS "Cartas de amor são escritas não para dar notícias, não para contar nada, mas para que mãos separadas se toquem ao tocarem a mesma folha de papel." RUBEM ALVES "Assim como as chaves abrem cofres, as cartas abrem corações." JAMES HOWELL "Por que não escreveste nunca? Não é de te ler que mais tenho saudade. É o som da faca rasgando o envelope que trazia a tua carta. E sentir, de novo, uma carícia na alma, como se algures estivessem golpeando um cordão umbilical." MIA COUTO
One of the pioneers of gender studies in music, Ellen Koskoff edited the foundational text Women and Music in Cross Cultural Perspective, and her career evolved in tandem with the emergence and development of the field. In this intellectual memoir, Koskoff describes her journey through the maze of social history and scholarship related to her work examining the intersection of music and gender. Koskoff collects new, revised, and hard-to-find published material from mid-1970s through 2010 to trace the evolution of ethnomusicological thinking about women, gender, and music, offering a perspective of how questions emerged and changed in those years, as well as Koskoff's reassessment of the earl...
