On Music
Good music can make you cry. It can lift you up like a current of air, and you just drift. You don’t want it to set you back down. The special thing about music is that oftentimes, you don’t know why it does what it does. And yet you don’t question it. It’s too real to deny.
First, it calls out. Not to you specifically, at least not yet, but you hear it and you wonder. Hmm, your mind says. What is this? And so you keep listening, and whatever was on your mind before is gone. You sit and you listen and your mind is clear and focused.
