Praying dangerously

Q: Father, what do you think about when you serve Liturgy or those other services?

I would like to answer - to be in the position to answer - something along the lines of Louis Armstrong's words as quoted by Dave Brubeck:

Whenever he sat down at the piano— an instrument as satisfying, to him, as a whole orchestra—his aim was to get somewhere he had never got before. It didn’t matter how tired he was, how beat-up he felt. He wanted to be so inspired in his explorations that he would get beyond himself. He liked to quote Louis Armstrong, who once told a woman who asked what he thought about as he played: “Lady, if I told you, your mind would explode.” In his own words, he played dangerously, prepared to make any number of mistakes in order to create something he had never created before.
