My main goal in life is to fulfill my purpose on earth and help to fulfill other people's purposes, too. I want to make a little positive contribution and make the part of my world a more peaceful and loving place. I love music and it's the principal channel through which I carry out the above goals. I'm professionally and thoroughly prepared in several music areas: composition, orchestral/choral conducting, performance (classical guitar and organ), college teaching, and church music.

In my website, www.RafaelScarfullery.com, you can watch my music videos, listen to my CD's and buy them, see samples of my compositions, buy scores for downloading, download free scores, read about my music career, read my thoughts and other people's quotes that help us to become better human beings, and much more. If you'd like, send me your feedback. I'd love to hear from you!

Thanks for visiting!

Being What We Are

"It is the chiefest point of happiness that a man is willing to be what he is."
                                                                    Desiderius Erasmus

To me this quote shares a truth for me: That if we live for our dreams and purposes, guided by God and our intuition, and if those dreams and purposes help a little in sharing a more loving and peaceful world, then we'll have happy lives, no matter how long we live. It's not how many years we live that should matter. What should matter is to have a beautiful life making a little contribution in our little corner of this world.
