When I clear my mind and let the music take over, my hands seem to move on their own, and my voice utters words I haven't premeditated. This is pure instinct. It's like riding a wave. You just take a deep breath, hop on, and hang on as long as you can. That's basically how I songwrite when I'm composing impromptu pieces. It's a lot like channeling. Or free associating. And it's super fun, because anything can happen! It's pure creativity.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/3371</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[They say that the best defense is offense, and I intend to start offending right now. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/57543]]></link><description><![CDATA[They say that the best defense is offense, and I intend to start offending right now.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/57543</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I don't try to describe the future.
