Music

Music acts like a tuning fork, setting off a chain of sympathetic vibrations. In other words music speaks in the language of moods. Either it echoes our existing moods, our inner state, or it is a catalyst for changing our moods. And when the music matches our mood, we experience a profound sense of resonance, of being in tune with an ethereal power. The reinforcement of our emotions has an amplification effect. We feel more deeply, reflect more clearly. To lose ourselves in a piece of music simply means that we are in complete harmony with it. At times like these, music is the audible outer manifestation of our inaudible inner voice.
