“In meditation we experience the silence from which all creativity springs. The act of creation – whether from a blank page to a poem, an empty space to a building, a thought to a song or film – starts with a void. The more intimate a relationship we can build with that silent void, the more clearly the art can shine through and spring forth. Meditation is the vehicle to connect to that silence.” – Rick Rubin, Malibu 2013.”
