“O homem, quando jovem, é só, apesar de suas múltiplas experiências. Ele pretende, nessa época, conformar a realidade com suas mãos, servindo-se dela, pois acredita que, ganhando o mundo, conseguirá ganhar-se a si próprio. Acontece, entretanto, que nascemos para o encontro com o outro, e não o seu domínio. Encontrá-lo é perdê-lo, é contemplá-lo na sua libérrima existência, é respeitá-lo e amá-lo na sua total e gratuita inutilidade. O começo da sabedoria consiste em perceber que temos e teremos as mãos vazias, na medida em que tenhamos ganho ou pretendamos ganhar o mundo. Neste momento, a solidão nos atravessa como um dardo. É meio-dia em nossa vida, e a face do outro nos contempla como um enigma. Feliz daquele que, ao meio-dia, se percebe em plena treva, pobre e nu. Este é o preço do encontro, do possível encontro com o outro. A construção de tal possibilidade passa a ser, desde então, o trabalho do homem que merece o seu nome.” 

Paulo Leminski

Medwyn Goodall is a composer and musician mostly associated with the New Age genre. He was born in Yorkshire, England, in 1961. He lives with his wife Wendy in Cornwall, England. According to Allmusic, "Goodall began composing original songs as a teen, earning local notoriety with his band Trax; in the years to follow, he learned to play a vast range of instruments, including mandolin, piano, drums, harp, flute, glockenspiel, panpipes, vibraphone and synthesizer, and cut his first album at age 16". He is a prolific recorder, having recorded over 75 albums. He also topped the UK music charts twice and sold over three million albums. His first album was Emergence (1987), published by New World Music. His early albums were published also by Oreade Music. Medwyn Goodall recently started MG Music a record label which specializes in New Age music. 

 He produced albums on which he arranged, performed, mixed and mastered every song, although his album, Om (2006), was produced together with Terry Oldfield. There is an updated list of his albums at MG Music that he chose this alias so he "could record projects that were more ethnic, eastern, or produced for the healing arts" without confusing fans of his other music. However, there are also other musical artists using or known by the name Midori (such as the jazz-punk combo Midori and the Japanese violinst Midori Goto). [...] avaxhome ★
