Without words, yet still enchanting.

I absolutely love pure music. No words. Nothing to break the enchantment of listening and letting the tune burrow into your soul. I'm sure everyone reacts differently to music, but I'll bet there are times when every one of us craves pure music alone. It's instincual, primeval, a base desire we all share. Music like that always puts me in a contemplative mood, but it's powerful and seemingly opens my mind to greater possibilities.

Actually, I'm in awe of composers. The skill it takes to put music together amazes me. I've tried doing it, and frankly failed miserably. That luscious ability is beyond me, which makes me even more impressed when I listen. Music is a divine tapestry which weaves in and out of our lives, hopefully making us better for it.

It's hard not to think of music as a magical creation. It's mysterious, lovely, and wonderous all at the same time. I hesitate to imagine a world without music (though it makes for a great story plot), and I am ever grateful to those of you who create it.

Thank you, musicians and composers. You've made our world a better place with your talents.
