Indeterminacy 12

When I told David Tudor
that this talk on music
was nothing but a
series of stories,
he said,
“Don’t fail to
put in some benedictions.”
I said,
“What in heaven’s
name do you mean by
benedictions?” “Blessings,”
he said.
“What blessings?” I
said,
“God bless you everyone?”


“Yes,” he said,
“like they
say in the sutras:
‘This
is not idle talk,
but the
highest of truths’.”

- John Cage
