I think life is really hard sometimes. it's not easy to wake up every day and go through what you go through. but the beautiful moments that you share with people that you love, or even experience alone, are worth all of the pain and sorrow. those moments should be cherished, and i think that's what music is all about-to remind people of the beautiful moments that are in everybody's life

Love Beautiful Pain

More From Charlie Haden

Grief does not end and love does not die and nothing fills its graven place. with grace, pain is transmuted into the gold of wisdom and compassion and the lesser coin of muted sadness and resignation; but something leaden of it remains, to become the kernel arond which more pain accretes (a black pearl): one pain becomes every other pain ... unless one strips away, one by one, the layers of pain to get to the heart of the pain - and this causes more pain, pain so intense as to feel like evisceration.
Pain Grief Heart
People are afraid of themselves, of their own reality; their feelings most of all. people talk about how great love is, but that's bullshit. love hurts. feelings are disturbing. people are taught that pain is evil and dangerous. how can they deal with love if they're afraid to feel? pain is meant to wake us up. people try to hide their pain. but they're wrong. pain is something to carry, like a radio. you feel your strength in the experience of pain. it's all in how you carry it.
Pain Love Is Reality
I sleep during the day. i still dream about drinking and drugs. sometimes i wake to a hang-over, sometimes i wake to a trickle of blood from my nose, sometimes i wake scared and shaking. i read, go to museums and visit lilly in the afternoon. sometimes i read to her, sometimes i talk to her, sometimes i just sit and remember the times, remember the times, remember the times." (james frey, pg.119)
Dream Drinking Sleep
Wake up, america. the insurance companies took over health care. wake up, america. the pharmaceutical companies took over drug pricing. wake up, america. the speculators took over wall street. wake up, america. they want to take your social security. wake up, america. multinational corporations took over our trade policies, factories are closing, good paying jobs lost. wake up, america. we went into iraq for oil.

Nothing comes easy. i know that people joke all the time and try to figure out, you know, what it is that i do, but i work really hard. i get up every day at 5 a.m. and start my day. i think as long as you work really hard and figure out what you want to do and stay motivated and have a plan and stay committed - just don't be lazy. that's my best advice. it's the most simple advice, but it really worked for me. i think that for some reason, i see people that think things will come easy and it doesn't really come easy.

Recently, one friend asked me, "how can i force myself to smile when i am filled with sorrow? it isn't natural." i told her she must be able to smile to her sorrow, because we are more than our sorrow. a human being is like a television set with millions of channels. if we turn the buddha on, we are the buddha. if we turn sorrow on then we are sorrow. if we turn a smile on, we really are the smile. we can not let just one channel dominate us. we have the seed of everything in us, and we have to seize the situation in our hand, to recover our own sovereignty.
