(photo by my dear 8 yo)
Is there a song that brings you to a place of peace within moments of it's first chords? Pink Floyd's, "Breathe", slows my heart almost instantaneously the moment the noises from the outside world at the beginning of the song die down and the true opening chords kick in. I close my eyes and exhale. I am no longer standing in the kitchen of a house on Main St. USA but am instead lying on the forest floor looking up at a canopy of dappled emerald sunshine.
Oh yeah.
(And, thanks to my friend Carrie who came up with the expression "dappled emerald sunshine" and said I could use it three years ago when I asked since I was completely enamored by the phrase... now, I have finally worked it in...)

I must be losing my mind, I really thought I left a comment on this pic.
I think I said, that I totally get the music thing, that I have songs that do that for me, too.
And that the photo is awesome.
Hahaha... I'm playing with your head... go check my other internet home, sistah!
Thanks, btw!
this is a really great photo...
I really like this picture. The light is peaceful and restful.
see, it's just too easy to mess with me that way, isn't it?
LOL, at myself :).
Don't Know Why by Norah Jones - that's a song that always brings me to a place of peace. Really anything by Norah will do.
Lovely picture - makes me want to lay in a hammock and look up at the trees - um, excuse me....the canopy of dappled emerald sunshine. :D
Love this shot -- so peaceful.
U2's "Grace" leaves that peaceful feeling with me. Just the quiet opening chords make the tension melt out of my shoulders.... ahhh!
