With all the chaos in the world, remember to take a small amount of time each day to stop and enjoy everything that you have in life.

“Music has the power to change the way we see things, to transform our senses and our understanding: it presents itself not as a creation but as the creation.  This feeling is inextricably linked with the sense of beauty we have been exploring; somehow the internal relations of the composition and its external relation to our experience become related.  We are in another world, but through that world we seem to find our own.”

–Edward Rothstein, “Emblems of Mind, The inner life of music and mathematics”
