Kenny Werner’s Farewell to ArtistShare Participants

It’s really been a strange, sometimes horrible, and lately, surreal time in my life,

but throughout it all I still get the sense that once one embraces the concept of Shakti,

that this whole world is made up of a scintillating substance known in Indian traditions as Shakti,

that one understands that Shakti is not necessarily kind, compassionate or easy,

that it can cut like a knife,

and that it’s only purpose in God’s play,

is the total transformation of human beings.

It (Shakti) will destroy the ego (no matter how long it takes),

provide life’s lessons,

balance and eradicate karma,

and deliver a soul inevitably beyond the cycle of birth and death,

even though most of us don’t know that that is our goal!

Somehow it makes me more resilient just knowing that experience has a purpose;
and, as my divine teacher has said, everything happens for the best.

God bless everyone.

I wish you all a successful journey through life and that all your heart’s desires are fulfilled.

Kenny
