Quiet moments in awe inspiring places, finding a new song that makes you want to play it over and over, getting completely lost in a new book, heartbreaking glances from my puppy dogs, trying to wrap my mind around why the world is how it is, finding bargains on stuff that I really shouldn't buy, the chills that crawl across my skin as the taste of a good wine hits the back of my tongue, laughing uncontrollably at the most random moments for no logical reason other than an inside joke.After silence, that which comes nearest to expressing the inexpressible is music. ..........Aldous Huxleywww.pandora.com www.orb.com www.lifehacker.com
