Neil Murray

I'm addicted to beauty, in art, music, women. Tonight, and many nights, I am listening to Chopin's NOcturnes for piano, and Schubert Impromptus. This music is just overwhelmingly beautiful, aand takes me to places no other music can. I love everything, jazz, classical, orchestral, soloists, and all types of music, but these pianos pieces, late at night, are just the most profound. I am a photographer. How good, is up to other people. I have an eye for things, and love making my own version of beauty. Or if not beauty, visions of things perceived a certain way. My upcoming projects involve a school bus depot, and a piece of Harvard College later in the Spring. I will be posting my photos in the next few eeks.

I have been a meditator for many decades. I got interested in Buddhism when I was living in Amsterdam, there to bicycle race. Since then, it has been my main interest in life, but I don't proselytize or try to convince anyone to convert. In fact, other than my fellow Buddhists, most people do not know I practice. It has benefited me tremendously in developing patience, empathy and concentration, but it leads to a different life style than the mainstream. It's a very good life, just different.
