Re: [Harp-L] Enough please!

True,,

The human spirit is not "Western", "Eastern", or nationalistic, in any
sense. If it weren't for my spirit, I wouldn't know a thing about shutting
up and playing, or just listening with respectful intent.

Without my human spirit, my harmonicas sound dull and lifeless.
Interestingly, the word translated as "spirit", in the Greek, is "pneuma",
the same as for the word "breath".
