The power of music revisited

I'm happy with most of the posts I make to my blogs (both this and my baking blog), but every now and then, there's a post that I'm just not happy with - a subject that I couldn't do justice to. The one in particular that I'm thinking of was on the power of music. But I found a video that conveys every bit of meaning that I wanted to but couldn't. It's worth a watch.

True meanings

I feel that the word enchantment is bandied around a bit too much and used a bit too cheaply these days, and that the true meaning of the word has been lost in the fog of overuse. But the other evening, I (re)discovered what I think should be used as the definition of the word: a full moon, on a beautifully clear, crisp evening over the skies of Oxford. Utterly enchanting.

Bad days

There are some days when even fantastic news that you've hoped for for years is not enough truly to lift your spirits.
